Vonn: Shiffrin ‘in a league of her own’

(CNN)She retired as the greatest female ski racer of all time, but Lindsey Vonn believes fellow American Mikaela Shiffrin is “in a league of her own” and will shatter all records as long as she stays healthy.

Vonn, who bowed out of the skiing four wins short of the all-time record, says Shiffrin is on course to eclipse even the record of 86 World Cup wins held by Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark.
Shiffrin, who turns 24 on March 13, clinched an unprecedented fourth straight slalom world title in Sweden Saturday to underline her stellar talent.
