At the weekend, the female alpine ski elite will start the new World Cup season.
The American Mikaela Shiffrin could replace her compatriot Lindsey Vonn as the most successful skier: She only needs eight wins to draw level with Vonn in the all-time list of the best.
In the men's race, the Swede Ingemar Stenmark is far ahead of the retired Austrians Marcel Hirscher (67 victories) and Hermann Maier (54 victories) with 86 victories.
None of the active drivers will be able to dethrone Stenmark in the foreseeable future.
