World Cup champion MikaelaShiffrin offered fans advice about how they can reach their own goals.
” in large letters, according to the event’s organizer Ross Leonhart, Shiffrin wore her long hair down beneath a knit hat with an Adidas Yerra patch and one from the pasta company Barilla, another sponsor. Lest anyone mix up the number the record-breaking performance, she handed out baseball hats and pins imprinted with “Mikaela87.” Shiffrin was also given a proclamation from local leaders declaring March 11 — the day that she first made skiing history — Mikaela Shiffrin Day.
To play up the G.O.A.T. aspect of her win, NBC Olympics enlisted 20 overachieving athletes and some celebrities to congratulate Shiffrin in a video message. Russell Wilson and Ciara, Roger Federer, Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning, Allyson Felix, Chloe Kim, Iga Świątek , Simone Biles, Rowdy Gaines and Sue Bird offered their praise. Sweden’s former World Cup champion Ingemar Stenmark, who has publicly shared his awe of Shiffrin, saluted her again.
“The most beautiful thing is that you can choose whoever you want to look up to. And that can change through the course of your life. Surround yourself with people and visuals that help you dream, to be ambitious and motivated, in order to achieve what you want to achieve.” She said, “It can be anybody. It could be your mom, it could be your grandmother, it could be your brother. For me, all of those people have been such a big part of my motivation, my inspiration.
That said, Shiffrin said she would soon be skiing again in a training camp in Europe later this week. Acknowledging how “it doesn’t really stop,” she said, “I don’t really get time off. But I get time to do other things that help lower my heart rate again and kind of bring the calm back into my life.“
Shiffrin also said there was no magic moment when she knew that she could take over the title. “It’s so many different pieces that are all put together. It’s not something that happens overnight. It’s been moments over the last 28 years. It’s just constantly going and not necessarily always believing that I was going to win a World Cup race. It’s just a matter of trying every single day.” She said, “I go to sleep, thinking maybe I could get one more win, if I work really hard tomorrow.
