Shiffrin finishes 2nd, must wait for record

Mikaela Shiffrin will have to wait a bit longer to celebrate a record-breaking win No. 83 on the women’s World Cup circuit.

Her biggest rival and an illness spoiled Shiffrin’s hopes of a big party at a floodlit night slalom Tuesday in Flachau, Austria, as the American standout skier finished second behind Olympic champion Petra Vlhova after feeling ill during the race and throwing up afterward.

The 27-year-old Shiffrin matched Lindsey Vonn’s women’s record of 82 race victories by winning a giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, on Sunday, but wasn’t able to produce another win in her best discipline, slalom, to move past her former teammate.

Vlhova had the fastest time in the first run and then extended her lead over Shiffrin for her first win this season. The Slovakian skier finished 0.43 seconds ahead of Shiffrin, while Lena Duerr of Germany finished 0.85 back in third.

Shiffrin’s next chance to break the record will come in a super-G in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, in 10 days. She plans to sit out speed races at another Austrian venue, St. Anton, this weekend.

Red Sox INF Trevor Story had surgery on his throwing elbow and appears likely to miss a significant portion of next season. Story, 30, underwent an internal bracing procedure on his right ulnar collateral ligament. The time frame for recovery can be five to six months.
