“Interrupting” Mikaela Shiffrin, Rising Teammate Edges In Skiing Legend’s Recovery Goals Amid Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup 2023/24

Mikaela Shiffrin’s crown is in danger, and the situation is of her own making. As a major spokesperson for Stifel, the current granddaddy of the alpine skiing world, Shiffrin has labored to pull many other American skiers up the ranks. However, when one of these stifel members came too close for comfort, the legendary skier knew she had to up her game.

Paula Moltzan, who until recently looked up to Lindsey Vonn, has found a new idol in Mikaela Shiffrin. She took her inspiration to new heights during the women’s World Cup slalom and came second to the podium after Shiffrin. Thereafter, the legendary skiing champ buckled down for the Tremblant giant slalom yesterday and put some distance between herself and Molztan. However, in the next moment, Paula Moltzan was again by her side.

The latter commented, “Interrupting horizontal time”, indicating that Shiffrin’s recovery day plans were halted by an impromptu bonding moment.

Mikaela Shiffrin did not mind the interruption and graced the picture with a wide smile. She captioned the image, “cuddles are life #wearecuddling” to commemorate their sisterly bond. But there is something beyond the usual giggles and laughter that these athletes share.
