Mikaela Shiffrin took a record-extending 99th Alpine skiing World Cup victory in Austria on Saturday, leaving the American perfectly placed to complete her century on home snow in Vermont next weekend.

Shiffrin won the slalom in the resort of Gurgl by a comfortable 0.55 of a second from Italian-born Lara Colturi, who skis for Albania, in second place.
