Mikaela Shiffrin’s record 83rd World Cup victory is only the latest exploit by an American team that has been producing success after success on the circuit since Daron Rahlves and Bode Miller started it all off more than 20 years ago.
Phil Mahre also became the first American to win the overall World Cup title — considered by many within ski racing as the sport’s greatest prize — in 1981, ’82 and ’83.It took more than two decades before another American won the overall, with Miller securing the first of his two titles in 2005.Before Miller started winning, it was Rahlves who emerged as a contender in downhill.
The move paid off as Miller won his second overall title with his personal team in 2008, the year that Vonn won the first of her four titles, and he crowned his career with gold in the 2010 Olympic combined. Mancuso also won the giant slalom at the 2006 Turin Olympics and then nearly won the overall title in 2007, before Vonn became the much more successful racer the next season and won three straight overall trophies.
