Mikaela Shiffrin Sends an Emotional Message to Fans at the End of Roller Coaster Skiing Season

The Alpine Skiing competition saw Mikaela Shiffrin with yet another World Cup title. Walking into the competitions on the back of a disappointing Winter Olympics meant Shiffrin had a lot to prove in the final races of the skiing season. And shutting down her naysayers is exactly what she did.

Winning a fourth World Cup title, she now is tied with the legendary Lindsey Vonn. Truly, it was a sensational comeback after a rather poor Winter Olympics campaign.

Reflecting back on the season, she talked about her achievement and thanked people for believing in her. In a heartfelt tribute on Twitter, Shifrin thanked everyone involved with her achievement and gave noteworthy mentions to her rivals as well.

With the World Cup title heading to its anti-climax, Petra Vlhova and Shiffrin battled to the end to determine the winner. Not to mention, Vlhova beat Mikaela to the gold medal in Beijing only weeks earlier. However, a determined Shiffrin never looked back as she fought hard and claimed her fourth title. In a heartwarming post on Twitter, she acknowledged everyone involved in her journey and couldn’t thank them enough.

“Well…this season is a lot to recap…I’m trying to find words and just failing miserably. For now, the most important thing I want to say is-thank you. Thx to everyone who has shown so much support throughout the ups and downs.

“And especially thank you to this team for all of the work they do every day to make these dreams possible to achieve,” said Shiffrin.

With the gap closed down until the end of the season-finale, Shiffrin provided a stunning comeback to make sure the title was hers to take home.

Shiffrin dominates in the end

The downhill competition saw her claiming a surprising victory and then she followed it up with a second-place finish in the super-G event. This victory comes after her three consecutive title victories from 2017 to 2019.

With Annemarie Moser-Pröll in front of her with six, Shiffrin is still 27 and hungry for more success. But undoubtedly, even with all her achievements, at the end of her career, she will go down as the greatest skier of all time.

Hence, her legacy is unmatched, and even if she had an Olympic Games to forget, Shiffrin showed the world why she is the greatest after all. The next obvious question would be whether she can win her fifth World Cup next season and move forward. But surely, the worry can wait; for now, it’s time to relax and rejuvenate, looking back at what has been a whirlwind of a season.
