Shiffrin finished 0.64 seconds ahead of the Italian Federica Brignone to match the milestone that has stood for 34 years.

"This is a spectacular day. I just wanted to fight for it. It’s amazing, incredible,” said the Colorado-born skier.

A few days shy of her 28th birthday her exceptional run continued with her 12th World Cup win after securing a fifth overall crystal globe last weekend.

Shiffrin also won gold in the giant at the recent world championships.

She has a shot at claiming the record outright in Saturday's slalom.
