Mikaela Shiffrin Appreciation thread

Disclaimer: Every single girl that I have ever loved had the last letter of her first name end in “A”

Who doesn’t love a winner?

But since storming onto the scene this woman has been untouchable!!

At 23 I was stoopid and dumb and didn’t think of doing anything remarkable with my life. This person won me over a while back and I truly appreciate the grace brought to a sport measured in hundreds of seconds!

One win behind Alberto “la bomba” Tomba is praise worthy!! Hence this thread.

Keep up the great racing, Mikaela!!

And she does it!!

Ties most slolom women’s wins and Alberto’ 50 wins!!

Woot!!

I'm not all super stalker-ish just think it is a note worthy milestone for such a young career! I'm looking at the great Ingemar Stenmark and doing the comparison that is what I think is impressive.

It was exciting to see the reverse start, watch the clock leave "green" for a bit, and worry until you realize, "She's got this!"

Nice way to pass the morning!

I didn't know any of that about her!

3 days to answer... As you can see, I do not spend all of my time on-line!

Hey! I found my ild thread!!

But More importantly…

She did it!!

Moments after winning her record-tying 86th World Cup race, Mikaela Shiffrin was asked by a Swedish broadcaster to directly address Ingemar Stenmark, the skiing standout who had promised to watch at home on television.

“No matter what I do, it doesn’t ever compare to what you achieved,” Shiffrin said into the TV6 camera from the lakeside resort. “Maybe I get the 87th victory, maybe not. But for me the biggest dream is to be mentioned in the same sentence as you.”

March 10, 2023, abcnews.go.com - Mikaela Shiffrin gets her record 86th World Cup victory.

How cool is that?!! And the race weekend is not over.

Awesome!

Skol!

There it is!!

A win in slalom has given Shiffrin an unequaled 87 World Cup wins!!

I would quote ESPN but I have the app and it ain’t on BBC yet.
