Reeling From Unsettling Upset, Mikaela Shiffrin Back to Enjoying Life Amid Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup 2023/24

Mikaela Shiffrin has been on a roll at the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup 2023/24, securing three victories in the ongoing season. The alpine skiing queen was on a 100 World Cup pursuit, but recently suffered a major setback. However, she didn’t beat herself up over the loss and is now back to enjoying life in her natural element.

Shiffrin was poised for her fourth victory of the season, the 92nd World Cup, at Val-d’Isere last week. Unfortunately, she couldn’t get over the line. Not letting that crumble her morale, she distracted herself and her legions of fans who inevitably played along to her well meaning humorous posts. But, the 2x Olympian is now over the loss, flaunting new hair in the latest post.

Mikaela Shiffrin flaunts new hair

In the latest post on Instagram, Shiffrin looked over Saturday’s Super-G disappointment. She flaunted her newly colored hair and looked stunning with the short blonde color. “Hehe oopsies…I highlighted my own hair again (happy and brush emojis)”, the winningest skier of all time wrote. The 28-year-old emphasized her shenanigans the second time around as well, in a carousel of two posts cummulatively.

Shiffrin has earlier colored her hair gold and has raced several times in her iconic short-blonde hair. In the ongoing alpine skiing World Cup season, she also had a similar gold-colored hair, but the American legend has now further highlighted it, looking to get back to luxuriously kicking back and enjoying some much needed downtime. While she still leads the overall World Cup standings, the Super G proved to be her undoing last Saturday, the second time this season.
