Mikaela Shiffrin has already enjoyed a record-breaking career, but the US ski star now stands just one win away from claiming her 100th World Cup race victory.
The 29-year-old, already the most successful alpine skier of all time, has the chance to reach the impressive total at this weekend’s Stifel Killington Cup in Vermont. The American is expected to race in both Saturday’s giant slalom and Sunday’s slalom event, but she’s refusing to get ahead of herself. “It’s not impossible, but so many things have to go right,” Shiffrin said after winning her 99th World Cup race in Austria last week.
She was left with sprained knee ligaments, but Shiffrin previously told CNN Sport she was lucky to escape the incident with minimal damage given the impact the accident inflicted on her body. “It could have gone a million different ways, but man, I’m thankful that this is the way it went,” she said. As misfortune would have it, Shiffrin’s partner Aleksander Aamodt Kilde also suffered a serious incident on the slopes just a few weeks before her own accident.
