SPINDLERUV MLYN, Czech Republic—Mikaela Shiffrin celebrated with a shoulder wiggle and a bright smile Saturday, Jan. 28, after dominating a slalom and moving within one victory of the 34-year-old World Cup record of 86 wins.

The American showed no signs of pressure, a day before another slalom in which she could match the best mark set by Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark in the 1980s.
