'She’s the best racer that I’ve ever seen.' American skier Mikaela Shiffrin defends her giant slalom title at Beijing2022.
Her accomplishments at age 26 include three Olympic medals , 11 world championship medals , three World Cup overall titles and 73 career race wins .“She’s physically spectacular as a ski racer with strength and her general physiology. She had the right upbringing. Great support,” said Miller, whose six Olympic medals are tied for the second most in Alpine history. “She just has a lot of gifts to work with. Fortunately, she has the intangibles that partner up with those really well.
“Prior to that, I only ever heard her name and the lore of ‘Mikaela Shiffrin,’” said Day, who worked for a ski company at the time.“The race is still vivid for a couple of reasons. First, her skiing was just phenomenally high level for that age. Technical proficiency and tactical proficiency was mind-blowing. But the second reason was she won the race by 10 or 12 seconds. ...
“When Steph Curry shoots a 3 from just inside of half court, you’re like, ‘Oooh!’ You and I don’t know what he just did, but it looks like it’s supposed to look, and it went in,” Day said. “It’s just really naturally gifted in the event, with timing and position and placement of the turn. All of those things are critical, as well as a million other elements — and she just does them all really well.
“She was taught from a young age to be very disciplined — for better or for worse. Jeff and I taught Taylor and Mikaela that, way before we even considered they might race, mostly for safety’s sake on the hill,” Eileen wrote. “But also, Jeff was such a beautiful skier; he wanted to share the joy of carving those beautiful turns he made. ... They developed similar form.”First World Cup podium at 16; first victory at 17; first Olympic gold at 18.
Keely Cashman, a Californian making her Winter Games debut, finds that Shiffrin “always is super calm and collected, which is something that I would like to have on race day.” Another first-time Olympian, River Radamus of Colorado, notes “how graceful she makes it look and how easy she makes it look.”and is second to Shiffrin in the current standings, pondered the question and offered a simple assessment of the American: “She doesn’t do anything different. She does it better.
