Just two days prior to her 16th birthday, Mikaela Shiffrin kicked out of the start house atop the Svatý Petr Black giant slalom course at Špindlerův Mlýn ski resort in the Czech Republic launching her.
2010 Mikaela Shiffrin, at age 14, won both the slalom and the giant slalom at the Trofeo Topolino in Italy. The Topolino (Italian for Mickey Mouse) was long known as the most competitive event in.
From a prodigiously talented 15-year-old to the most decorated female skier of all time, Mikaela Shiffrin has done quite a lot in only 12 years. The American skier won her record-breaking 83rd victory Tuesday in her 238th.
Shiffrin passed Vonn by winning her 83rd World Cup race, the most by a female skier. She now needs just four more wins to break Ingemar Stenmark’s career record of 86.
