The legendary Mikaela Shiffrin [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/alpine-skiing/] held her 85th World Cup victory yesterday by winning both the slalom races in Spindleruv Mlyn. As she stood atop the podium, the 27-year-old moved a step closer to matching the decades-old record of Ingemar Stenmark. Following her record-breaking victory, Shiffrin has girded up her lions to clinch her 86th triumph. However, the champion missed the mark by just one slalom race. Shiffrin started the year 2023 on a great note. First in Slovenia, where she lifted her 82nd World Cup. Secondly, Italy saw her rule the arena by lifting her 83rd and 84th World Cup victories. Finally in Czechia, Shiffrin took all the plaudits by winning the first day’s slalom races and accomplishing her 85th triumph. Howbeit, Shiffrin lost her 86th triumph as she stood 2nd in the 2nd day’s slalom run. MIKAELA SHIFFRIN BAGGED THE 2ND PLACE Shiffrin somehow found an even higher level of skiing, as she charged to World Cup no. 85 on Saturday, 28th January. By completing both the slalom runs on Saturday, she continued to maintain her favorite place on the scoreboard. However, Germany’s Lena Duerr trounced the American star in today’s 2nd slalom and won the race.

Alpine Skiing is one of the most incredible sporting competitions in the world. As the name suggests, it is a winter sport and has its own spot at the Winter Olympics. It consists of sliding down the snow slopes, on skies that have fixed-heel bindings. With chair lifts and other facilities, skiing is practiced in ski resorts, across the world. Different skiers practice their sport and it is one of the most anticipated events at the Olympics. Along with it, the FIS World Cup and the World Championships are major competitions of the Alpine skiing community. There are five disciplines in modern-day skiing competitions- slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill, and the combined.

<h3>History of Alpine Skiing</h3>
Skiing was first practiced <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/Alpine-skiing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">during</a> the 19th and 20th centuries. The International Ski federation recognized downhill racing back in the 1930s. Likewise, the first men's world championships were held in 1931; whereas, the women's events were added in 1950. The 1936 Winter Olympics in Germany, saw the first Alpine event make its debut. With all the history in place, the first slalom competition happened in Murren, Switzerland, back in 1922.
<h3>The five disciplines</h3>
In major competitions around the world, they use five disciplines in these competitions. The slalom and giant slalom competitions are technical events while the downhill and super-G events are speed events. The combined competitions have both technical and speed events to determine the winner. There are separate events for both men and women, along with mixed alpine competitions.

The slalom <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/olympics/news/mikaela-shiffrin-doesnt-have-anything-to-prove-to-anyone-at-the-beijing-olympics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">competition</a> is the shortest discipline. It includes gates that skiers must go in between to finish the course. It is a fast and technical course that includes skiers maneuvering swift turns to finish fastest at the end. Giant slalom is bigger. It consists of different gates with two poles linked by flags. Finding the right path is a necessity that helps the skiers to post fast times. Downhill is one of the fastest competitions in skiing. As the name suggests, skiers just need to get down to the finishing line by posting the fastest times. They can attain an average speed of 80mph as massive jumps are a part of the course. Super-G is similar to downhill but the skiers make turns during the course. Patience is the key as they take tight turns at incredible speeds.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Mikaela Shiffrin In 2024: Net Worth, Salary &amp; Endorsements</b></h2>
[caption id="attachment_924821" align="alignnone" width="473"]<img class="size-medium wp-image-924821" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1369461146-473x315.jpg" alt="Mikaela Shiffrin" width="473" height="315" /> YANQING, CHINA - FEBRUARY 09: Mikaela Shiffrin of Team United States reacts prior to the Women's Slalom Run 1 on day five of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games at National Alpine Ski Centre on February 09, 2022 in Yanqing, China.

<h2 style="text-align: left"><strong>How much is Mikaela Shiffrinâ€™s Net Worth in 2024? Know the answer</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left">Olympic gold medal holder Mikaela Shiffrin has officially cemented her status as the greatest skier in history. After winning her 87th Alpine skiing World Cup race, she broke Ingemar Stenmark's record, which was 86, in March 2023. Shiffrin's net worth subsequently saw an increase and is estimated by Celebrity Net Worth to be $3 million.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Shiffrin's 53 World Cup victories added a substantial amount to her total prize money, which is currently a remarkable $1.04 million. Her status as the sport's record holder was strengthened by her achievement, which created a new turning point in the Alpine World Cup's history.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Shiffrin's first biggest income came during the 2018-19 season when she won the women's overall World Cup championship, which she still holds. That season, her earnings reached $958,000. Interestingly, there's a profound story that lies behind the most successful alpine skier. She also makes a lot of money thanks to big deals with Atomic and Barilla. Other partners include Adidas, Oakley, Usana, Longines, Visa, and Reusch.</p>

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Where was she born? Know about her early life, parents, and more</strong> </span></h2>
<p style="text-align: left">Born to Eileen and Jeff Shiffrin on March 13, 1995, Shiffrin was brought up in Vail, Colorado. Her skiing roots came from her father who was a skier himself when he was young. He raced for Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Having an elder brother who attended Burke Mountain Academy in northeastern Vermont, she very much stole the limelight even when she was young.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">At the age of 14, she won her first titles at the Topolino Games in Italy for both the slalom and GS. She continued her success by winning the slalom bronze medal at the FIS Junior World Ski Championships held in Switzerland. From there, her career skyrocketed to far greater heights.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Mikaela Shiffrin's father Jeff Shiffrin was an anesthesiologist whereas her mother Eileen was once an ICU nurse. Shiffrin's parents, too, were skiing enthusiasts and had bonded over their shared love for the sport. When their children were born, they passed it down to them as well. Shiffrin has an older brother named Taylor Shiffrin. These two siblings were born just 2.5 years apart.</p>

<div class="jsx-1883686743">
<p style="text-align: left">Though Taylor did not compete at the Olympic level like his sister, he did ski during his college days at the University of Denver. He was a part of the NCAA Championship team twice, in 2014 and 2016 respectively. As the siblings trained together, they have "friendly sibling rivalry" and bring out the best in each other. But unlike his sister, Taylor made his career in the tech industry. However, even in the tech world, some of his projects revolve around the snow world.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Mikaela's family is the backbone of her career. Her skier parents had started training the siblings when Mikaela was still a toddler. They had even formulated a training plan for the kids. When Mikaela started competing professionally, which required a lot of traveling, Eileen put her nursing career to rest. Eileen traveled with the rising talent as one of her coaches. With her dedication and overall family support, Mikaela is now a world-class skier.</p>

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Mikaela Shiffrin skiing career so far: A look into her success on the ice</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left">At the start of her career, Shiffrin achieved a string of remarkable triumphs, starting at the astonishingly young age of 16. She made headlines when she won her first slalom championship at the US National Championships in Winter Park, Colorado, becoming the sport's youngest champion ever. Then, in December 2012, she achieved her first World Cup victory in Sweden, which was her breakout moment. But Shiffrin's real breakthrough came in 2014, when she won the gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, sealing her place in Olympic history as the youngest slalom winner ever.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Shiffrin's versatility was obvious when she won a flurry of gold at the World Championships. She particularly excelled in events in Beaver Creek, St. Moritz, Are, and Cortina d'Ampezzo, solidifying her place among the sport's top athletes. Her most notable accomplishment in the giant slalom came at the Olympics, where she won the highly sought-after gold medal.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Shiffrin displayed remarkable skill in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, winning both the gold and the silver in the slalom and the combined events, establishing herself as one of the world's best slalom competitors. Shiffrin won her fourth World Cup championship in 2022 with a relatively modest five victories, but even with her incredible achievements.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">In the following season, Shiffrin came back in full form and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-olympics-news-alpine-skiing-news-respect-and-admiration-sports-world-bows-down-to-american-skiing-champ-mikaela-shiffrin-as-she-makes-history/" target="_self" rel="noopener">etched her name in history.</a> At 28, she cemented her standing as a skiing G.O.A.T by winning the overall and slalom titles with unmatched grace, and by securing the giant slalom crystal globe. Her 14th World Cup victory was a perfect end to a year with her World Cup surpassing Stenmark (86) and former compatriot Lindsey Vonn (82).</p>
<p style="text-align: left">Meanwhile, Shiffrin has kicked off the year 2024 on a great note by securing her 95th World Cup win and achieving a milestone 150th career podium with a victorious slalom performance in Jasna, Slovakia. She now has nine more World Cup wins than Stenmark's previous best mark. Shiffrin achieved the feat by beatingÂ Croatia's Zrinka Ljutic by just 0.14 seconds.</p>

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is she in a relationship with? Know all about her partner</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left">Mikaela's romantic ski story adds an intriguing twist to the captivating story of the Shiffrin family's skiing heritage. Presently intertwined with Norwegian skier Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, their story spins a web of fortuitous meetings and unwavering friendship.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">When they first saw each other in 2017, Shiffrin turned down Klide's overtures. However, destiny had other ideas, and their relationship became stronger over time, especially during a devastating period in Shiffrin's life in 2020.</p>
<p style="text-align: left"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2543811" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Mikaela-Shiffrin-and-Aleksander-Kilde-315x315.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="315" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left">During the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, their relationship developed into a partnership of mutual support. Further, the moments of excitement experienced by both of them were lovingly documented on their social media profiles. Their shared trip has evolved into an enthralling show for fans across the world, from the glitz and glamour of the ESPY Awards to fun adventures under the Hawaiian sun in Maui. Meanwhile, Kilde's career path in skiing demonstrated his tenacity.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">A remarkable World Cup overall win in 2019/2020 marked notable accomplishments for him. Throughout the 2021-2022 season, he showcased unwavering consistency amid the rollercoaster of victories and setbacks. With an impressive record of wins and an array of podium finishes, he and his partner, forming the dynamic power couple of alpine skiing, consistently captivate audiences with their compelling narrative both on and off the slopes.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>A beautiful message: Mikaela Shiffrinâ€™s tribute for her late father</strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: left">Mikaela Shiffrin lost her father Jeff Shiffrin on February 2, 2022. The unfortunate incident happened after an accidental fall at home. The exact cause of death was a head injury but how that transpired was never revealed to the public. However, the world saw how the loss impacted the skiing champion. Reportedly, Shiffrin "<em>couldn't even get out of bed</em>" and even "<em>contemplated quitting</em>" her career. Shiffrin took some time off from the sport to focus on healing from the loss.</p>

<div class="jsx-45ea8ad8a1b58c7c">
<p style="text-align: left">During this time, she picked up music and learned to play the guitar. With the help of her mother, she created a song that she dedicated to her late father. In the song, she reflected on her father's teaching, reminisced about their good times together, and spoke about the anxiety she felt waiting in the hospital as his life slowly slipped away. As she returned to the sport, she carried the memory of her father along with her.</p>
<p style="text-align: left">During her most recent win, Shiffrin was seen flaunting a <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-alpine-skiing-news-olympics-news-mini-pendant-narrates-teary-eyed-tale-of-mikaela-shiffrin-remembering-late-father-after-grand-victory/" target="_self" rel="noopener">heart-shaped pendant</a> next to her medal. Upon closer look, it was revealed that the pendant contained two photos of her late father. In a remembrance post, Shiffrin hoped her father got the best view of her performances.</p>

(Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images) How much is Mikaela Shiffrinâ€™s Net Worth in 2024? Know the answer Olympic gold medal holder Mikaela Shiffrin has officially cemented her status as the greatest skier in history. After winning her 87th Alpine skiing World Cup race, she broke Ingemar Stenmark&#8217;s record, which was 86, in March 2023. Shiffrin&#8217;s net worth subsequently saw an increase and is estimated by Celebrity Net Worth to be $3 million. Shiffrin&#8217;s 53 World Cup victories added a substantial amount to her total prize money, which is currently a remarkable $1.04 million. Her status as the sport&#8217;s record holder was strengthened by her achievement, which created a new turning point in the Alpine World Cup&#8217;s history. Shiffrin&#8217;s first biggest income came during the 2018-19 season when she won the women&#8217;s overall World Cup championship, which she still holds. That season, her earnings reached $958,000. Interestingly, there&#8217;s a profound story that lies behind the most successful alpine skier. She also makes a lot of money thanks to big deals with Atomic and Barilla. Other partners include Adidas, Oakley, Usana, Longines, Visa, and Reusch. Where was she born? Know about her early life, parents, and more Born to Eileen and Jeff Shiffrin on March 13, 1995, Shiffrin was brought up in Vail, Colorado. Her skiing roots came from her father who was a skier himself when he was young. He raced for Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. Having an elder brother who attended Burke Mountain Academy in northeastern Vermont, she very much stole the limelight even when she was young. At the age of 14, she won her first titles at the Topolino Games in Italy for both the slalom and GS. She continued her success by winning the slalom bronze medal at the FIS Junior World Ski Championships held in Switzerland. From there, her career skyrocketed to far greater heights. Mikaela Shiffrin&#8217;s father Jeff Shiffrin was an anesthesiologist whereas her mother Eileen was once an ICU nurse. Shiffrin&#8217;s parents, too, were skiing enthusiasts and had bonded over their shared love for the sport. When their children were born, they passed it down to them as well. Shiffrin has an older brother named Taylor Shiffrin. These two siblings were born just 2.5 years apart. Though Taylor did not compete at the Olympic level like his sister, he did ski during his college days at the University of Denver. He was a part of the NCAA Championship team twice, in 2014 and 2016 respectively. As the siblings trained together, they have &#8220;friendly sibling rivalry&#8221; and bring out the best in each other. But unlike his sister, Taylor made his career in the tech industry. However, even in the tech world, some of his projects revolve around the snow world. Mikaela&#8217;s family is the backbone of her career. Her skier parents had started training the siblings when Mikaela was still a toddler. They had even formulated a training plan for the kids. When Mikaela started competing professionally, which required a lot of traveling, Eileen put her nursing career to rest. Eileen traveled with the rising talent as one of her coaches. With her dedication and overall family support, Mikaela is now a world-class skier. Mikaela Shiffrin skiing career so far: A look into her success on the ice At the start of her career, Shiffrin achieved a string of remarkable triumphs, starting at the astonishingly young age of 16. She made headlines when she won her first slalom championship at the US National Championships in Winter Park, Colorado, becoming the sport&#8217;s youngest champion ever. Then, in December 2012, she achieved her first World Cup victory in Sweden, which was her breakout moment. But Shiffrin&#8217;s real breakthrough came in 2014, when she won the gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, sealing her place in Olympic history as the youngest slalom winner ever. Shiffrin&#8217;s versatility was obvious when she won a flurry of gold at the World Championships. She particularly excelled in events in Beaver Creek, St. Moritz, Are, and Cortina d&#8217;Ampezzo, solidifying her place among the sport&#8217;s top athletes. Her most notable accomplishment in the giant slalom came at the Olympics, where she won the highly sought-after gold medal. Shiffrin displayed remarkable skill in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, winning both the gold and the silver in the slalom and the combined events, establishing herself as one of the world&#8217;s best slalom competitors. Shiffrin won her fourth World Cup championship in 2022 with a relatively modest five victories, but even with her incredible achievements. In the following season, Shiffrin came back in full form and etched her name in history. At 28, she cemented her standing as a skiing G.O.A.T by winning the overall and slalom titles with unmatched grace, and by securing the giant slalom crystal globe. Her 14th World Cup victory was a perfect end to a year with her World Cup surpassing Stenmark (86) and former compatriot Lindsey Vonn (82). Meanwhile, Shiffrin has kicked off the year 2024 on a great note by securing her 95th World Cup win and achieving a milestone 150th career podium with a victorious slalom performance in Jasna, Slovakia. She now has nine more World Cup wins than Stenmark&#8217;s previous best mark. Shiffrin achieved the feat by beatingÂ Croatia&#8217;s Zrinka Ljutic by just 0.14 seconds.

Know all about her partner Mikaela&#8217;s romantic ski story adds an intriguing twist to the captivating story of the Shiffrin family&#8217;s skiing heritage. Presently intertwined with Norwegian skier Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, their story spins a web of fortuitous meetings and unwavering friendship. When they first saw each other in 2017, Shiffrin turned down Klide&#8217;s overtures. However, destiny had other ideas, and their relationship became stronger over time, especially during a devastating period in Shiffrin&#8217;s life in 2020. During the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, their relationship developed into a partnership of mutual support. Further, the moments of excitement experienced by both of them were lovingly documented on their social media profiles. Their shared trip has evolved into an enthralling show for fans across the world, from the glitz and glamour of the ESPY Awards to fun adventures under the Hawaiian sun in Maui. Meanwhile, Kilde&#8217;s career path in skiing demonstrated his tenacity. A remarkable World Cup overall win in 2019/2020 marked notable accomplishments for him. Throughout the 2021-2022 season, he showcased unwavering consistency amid the rollercoaster of victories and setbacks. With an impressive record of wins and an array of podium finishes, he and his partner, forming the dynamic power couple of alpine skiing, consistently captivate audiences with their compelling narrative both on and off the slopes. A beautiful message: Mikaela Shiffrinâ€™s tribute for her late father Mikaela Shiffrin lost her father Jeff Shiffrin on February 2, 2022. The unfortunate incident happened after an accidental fall at home. The exact cause of death was a head injury but how that transpired was never revealed to the public. However, the world saw how the loss impacted the skiing champion. Reportedly, Shiffrin &#8220;couldn&#8217;t even get out of bed&#8221; and even &#8220;contemplated quitting&#8221; her career. Shiffrin took some time off from the sport to focus on healing from the loss. During this time, she picked up music and learned to play the guitar. With the help of her mother, she created a song that she dedicated to her late father. In the song, she reflected on her father&#8217;s teaching, reminisced about their good times together, and spoke about the anxiety she felt waiting in the hospital as his life slowly slipped away. As she returned to the sport, she carried the memory of her father along with her. During her most recent win, Shiffrin was seen flaunting a heart-shaped pendant next to her medal. Upon closer look, it was revealed that the pendant contained two photos of her late father. In a remembrance post, Shiffrin hoped her father got the best view of her performances.
