Video: Despite Major Disadvantage, Mikaela Shiffrin’s Off the Charts Run Released Amid Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup 2023/24

Mikaela Shiffrin entered the second event of the FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup 2023/24 today. Amid this, the American alpine skiing world was left in anticipation and a burning question: Will Mikaela Shiffrin add reindeers to her collection at this slalom event? Speculation began circulating following Thursday’s post, which mentioned a “bone bruise” sustained during practice. Considering this, the winner of the slalom World Cup events in Levi, Finland, where the Lapland resort is presently holding the first slalom races of the season, is replete with the most recent information on the podium finishers on the first lap!

Shiffrin’s spokesperson, Megan Harrod said this week that she has been putting a lot of effort into getting her rhythm, and confidence back on her slalom skis. The hopeful approach suggested more than simply a favorable outlook, and the first race clips giving the initial results confirmed it.

Mikaela Shiffrin glides closer to slalom event victory

To make it an unforgettable day in Levi, the best female alpine skiers in the world are battling it out for the coveted final race victory! Early in the race, the twice Olympic champion gladly took on the slalom course with the goal of improving on her already incredible record of 53 career victories in the sport. Caught in action, @eurosport posted a Twitter (X) update captioned, “Mikaela Shiffrin is on fire. She sets the time to beat in the first run of the women’s Slalom’s run”

Despite Shiffrin’s best efforts, Petra Vlhová, the Slovakian who won the gold medal in the slalom at the 2022 Winter Olympics, took first place in the opening round. According to FIS, Shiffrin finished in third place, behind German skier Lena Dürr. Recovering from her fresh injury and back to the snowy haven has now added to her challenge from a reindeer victory.

“You really don’t need to be immune to fear in order to do amazing things in your career and life,” wrote Mikaela on her Instagram this Thursday. Until last year, Shiffrin’s distinguished reputation saw a dramatic decline characterized by a string of failures. She had to miss a lot of World Cup tournaments due to her father’s tragic death, a crippling back ailment, and a positive COVID-19 test. Later, during the 2022 Winter Olympics, she was disqualified from three races, including the slalom, her specialty. Despite the mounted pressure, she came off as “humbled” while setting sights on the next significant goals!

Major victories awaiting Shiffrin

With an almost flawless record, Shiffrin keeps pushing the envelope of greatness on her inspirational trek down the slopes. Her remarkable track record on the Levi Black course is noteworthy; in 13 starts, she has only missed the podium twice (in 2014 and 2020), winning six times. Sun and Lorax joined the ranks of Rudolph (2013), Sven (2016), Mr. Gru (2018), and Ingemar (2019) last year highlighted by the American sports body on Twitter(X) yesterday. Despite the heavy weight of Shiffrin’s impressive winning record hanging over the season, she is driven to do more.

Additionally, she will tie the women’s record set by Austrian Annemarie Moser-Pröll if she wins her sixth overall title this season along with the coveted crystal globe. The legendary retired Austrian skier won six titles in 11 seasons, including a remarkable five straight from 1971 to 1975. She resigned at age 26 in 1980, having captured an Olympic gold medal. After officially becoming the most decorated Alpine skier on the planet, it’s only obvious to be hungry for what’s next. Let’s watch out as Shiffrin glides towards discovering that.
