Shiffrin

I guess the whole coach split didn’t affect her too badly then…

Mikaela Shiffrin wins 🥇 in the giant slalom AND now holds the record for most World Championships medals in modern history with 13. 🤯

What. A. Day. [emoji898]

Awesome. She now has 13 WC medals (in 16 races!), second only to German Christl Cranz, who won 15 WC medals in the 1930s.

Great pic!!

I wish she could gift me the feeling. I'm an ice coaster and have had euphoric moments railing a carve, but nothing like that. So fn on it!

Vonn and then her. Good time to be a fan of ski racing n the US.

Mad props to the G.O.A.T.!! And to Nina who moved way up to 11th with the 2nd fastest 2nd run. Katie also moved up a fair bit.

Also, the team parallel Gold was great for the USST....

I knew/know some world cuppers, they'd go to a race without their coach but never without their tech.

I would say this post aged like milk but that would be an insult to milk's shelf life

Looks like, if anything, she was getting rid of a distraction.

Interesting timing on this post in my twitter feed.

After the first slalom run she’s in the lead. Hopefully, she can do it again!

Silver. Tricky course set.

St. Germaine had a hell of a run.

I haven’t been able to figure out how many points the big and little Crystals are worth, but it is probably a fair amount, so she will pretty close to Marcel by end of this season.

That has been my assumption as well.

Fastest training run today for the this weekend’s downhill in Norway.

Gotta start getting the live stream or recaps going. My 9 y/o little ski racer has never idolized any kind of celebrity/athlete, figure Mikaela and Paula Moltzen are probably best of the options!

Her GS win was awesome to see

so close to the podium.
