Only 5 of those wins were in the Super G.
Shiffrin has been racing for ~12 years and is only 27 years old.
Stenmark won his last 7 races over the age of 27.
Lindsey Vonn won 82 races (compared to the others at 86). Not exactly Gretzky having more assists than any other player had points.
Also, ski racing really needs to a do a Drive-to-Survive style show. It's a hard sport to follow (at least in North America), but it could be a very cinematic show. Attractive female athletes, amazing alpine scenery, crazy high speed crashes...what's not to like?
