“This ‘girl’ beat them all. All of them, and each of them is/was top!” Once again, the skiing legend, Mikaela Shiffrin, has written her name in history, this time with a feat that the last season felt would be in her hands. Nevertheless, luck played a bad trick on her at the Stifel Killington Cup. Instead of the victory, she received an injury that later translated into surgery. Now, with undeniable resilience and sheer dominion, she has silenced all doubts, thus showing why she is number one in alpine skiing. Her recent victory at Sestriere is historic not just because it went the extra mile to show that the Colorado native is stronger than her injuries, but also for another iconic reason.

FIS Alpine’s Instagram page is the harbinger of the good news this time, “💯🏆 A historic podium in Sestriere! 🥇 🇺🇸—100th career victory! 🔥” The 29-year-old skiing legend is the first skier, male or female, to win triple-digit World Cup races. Zrinka Ljutic of Croatia lost to her by 0.61 seconds, and Paula Moltzan of the USA came in third. Looking at her standing on the podium, it’s impossible to believe that she was completely immobilized after a crash in November during a giant slalom race. That’s it, the Colorado native has officially peaked!

Even after all these years and a never-ending list aof chievements and victories, the new world record holder still has this look of surprise and excitement underneath the goggles. Indeed, be it the first winner or a seasoned champion, every victory feels like the first one and more so if you somehow in this lifetime manage 100 spectacular wins!

The 29-year-old was simply at a loss for words. She said, “My feeling is blank a little bit.” She further goes, “It’s overwhelming. It’s too hard to find thoughts for it. But that’s also a very peaceful moment because normally I’m only thinking. So, sometimes it’s nice to have a moment where I can’t think.”  We thought a 100th win was around the corner when she secured a stellar podium finish with childhood friend Breezy Johnson at the team combined event in Saalbach on Feb 11. Her fans just cannot keep calm and we are in no position to blame them!

“A hundred is just crazy”: Fans can’t keep calm with Mikaela Shiffrin’s win

“That’s the way the cookie crumbles. 👏🏻👏👏👏👏🏻👏” —but for Shiffrin, every crumb is a testament to hard work, resilience, and an unmatched level of dominance on the slopes. This 100th World Cup feat cemented her status not just as a skiing legend, but as one of the greatest athletes in history. One admirer went crazy and just spoke out loud what all of us felt about the situation—“A hundred is just crazy! 😳🐐”

It was not a walk in the park for Shiffrin to get where she is right now. Last November, she had a pretty bad accident in Killington, Vermont, that almost kept her out of the competition, only to come back with even more determination. One fan aptly celebrated, “Shiffrin the great fighter, congratulations 👏❤️😍,” and one fan celebrated her resilience. From setbacks to spectacular comebacks, every turn she takes is a statement of her strength.

This wasn’t just another race; it was a moment for the ages. “Mikaela so deserved🔥. You are the REAL CHAMPION✨️👸. You are stronger every single turn and we love you 🫶💪🔥,” echoed the sentiments of her fans. One fan even went as far as to call her “The GOAT… not just in skiing but the greatest sportswoman of all time, in my opinion. Who else could compare? 🤷‍♂️”. The competition she’s faced has been fierce, but the Colorado native stands out every time.

As the celebrations continue, the world knows one thing for sure: this is not the peak of her greatness. With dedication and passion, she continues to redefine what’s possible in the sport. “Legend @mikaelashiffrin ❤️🔥” exclaimed one fan, and rightly so. “Wow! How amazing—100 wins of greatness. Superb skiing, Mikaela. You earned this through hard work and dedication… Your best is a step above anything we have ever seen 🥇💥💪❄️⛷️🏔️🔥 Congratulations 🍾”. From the fans to her competitors to the legends before her, one thing is clear—Mikaela Shiffrin is a force unlike any other.

The wishes are pouring in and Americans have a reason to celebrate with this history. “Huge congratulations on your 100th World Cup victory, Mikaela. 💯🥇💐👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Respect! 🎩⤵️” And as she stands atop the podium, skis in hand, the world watches in awe—because this is not just about 100 wins; it’s about a legacy that will endure forever.
