American skiing star Mikaela Shiffrin is having quite the 2023 – and it could get even better before the end of January.
Earlier this week, the two-time Olympic gold medalist secured her 83rd World Cup win to break compatriot Lindsey Vonn’s record for the most wins in women’s skiing after finishing first in the giant slalom at Kronplatz, Italy. She had topped the standings after the first run, recording a time of 58.72 before capping off a record-breaking day with a second-run time of 1:01.89.
And the last two days, it ended up in a win as well. So it’s pretty amazing.” Dealing with loss Skiing, among other things, has also helped Shfiffrin cope with the death of her father, Jeff. He died suddenly from an accident in February 2020 while at home in Colorado. “Just the last few years to where I am now, there’s times when I feel like I haven’t made any progress or healed at all,” she explained.
