Mikaela Shiffrin claimed a record-extending 88th World Cup win with victory in the giant slalom in Andorra.

The 28-year-old American clocked one minute 55.88 seconds across her two runs in Soldeu to finish 0.06secs ahead of Norway's Thea Louise Stjernesund. Canada's Valerie Grenier was third.

Shiffrin broke the record of 86 World Cup wins - held by Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark - this month.

Victory gave Shiffrin her 138th podium finish, breaking Lindsey Vonn's record.

She drew level with compatriot Vonn when she finished third in Saturday's slalom.

It was a 14th win across all disciplines this season for Shiffrin, who had already secured the overall, slalom and giant slalom World Cup crystal globes.
