26-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin has been impressing the world in the Alpine Skiing event since she was just 15. Notably, she holds the record of youngest slalom champion in Olympic alpine skiing history. The American Winter Olympic star has won three Olympic medals in her two Winter Games appearances. Interestingly, she revealed how playing tennis has benefitted her career. MIKAELA SHIFFRIN HAS A HEARTWARMING YET STRATEGIC REASON FOR ADDING TENNIS TO HER ROUTINE Mikaela Shiffrin was an infant when she first picked up the tennis racket. It was under the influence of her mother that she first started playing tennis, while it has now become a mother-daughter thing they do often. Mikaela revealed she requested her coach to add tennis sessions to her routine to spend time with mom, as well as work on her speed and reflexes. She said [https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/iga-swiatek-mikaela-shiffrin-tennis-skiing-slalom-olympics], “One thing I requested from my coach was to include some tennis sessions whenever he saw fit, so I play as often as possible with mom. I enjoy the way it works my quickness and agility, also my focus to be able to move around the court and still have precision hitting the ball.” She further added, “That is probably the most challenging thing for me, but also the most satisfying—getting through a tough rally knowing that you didn’t sacrifice power or precision of your stroke because of fatigue.” TENNIS STAR IGA SWIATEK CONSIDERS MIKAELA A ‘ROLE MODEL’ World No. 8, tennis star Iga Swiatek considers the Winter Olympic champion as a role model. Iga had revealed, [https://www.tennis.com/news/articles/iga-swiatek-mikaela-shiffrin-tennis-skiing-slalom-olympics] after competing at the Tokyo Olympics 2022, she gained respect for Mikaela, who had appeared in two mega games herself.

Shiffrin hopes someday the two can face off in a friendly match on the tennis court. On the business end, Shiffrin will now head to Beijing for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Like the previous years, the Paris Olympics in 2024 will not be an exception. The game will include a number of new elements. However, this year, the inclusion of breaking as an official sport at the Paris 2024 Olympics marks a significant moment in recognizing urban dance culture within the global sports community.Â 

Breaking, originating from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, has evolved into a highly skilled and respected art form, embodying athleticism, creativity, and cultural expression.

However, the decision to include Breaking in the Paris 2024 Olympics underscores the evolving nature of the Olympic Games, embracing new forms of athleticism and cultural significance. As Breaking athletes, known as B-Boys and B-Girls, prepare to showcase their talent on the world stage, the event promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic energy and creativity.

With La Concorde set as the backdrop for the Breaking competition, spectators can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere as competitors engage in intense 1v1 battles to the rhythm of random beats curated by a DJ. This fusion of music, movement, and competition embodies the spirit of Breaking, celebrating its roots in hip-hop culture while embracing its evolution as a recognized sport.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympics 2024 logo</h2>
The Paris Olympics 2024 logo is composed of five indivisible elements. These elements also reflect our ideal actions and show who we are. However, for the first time in history, the Olympics and Paralympics will use the same emblem as logos.Â 

The Paris Olympics 2024 symbol is a combination of three separate elements: the gold medal, the flame, and Marianne (the female figure representing the French Republic).Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympic mascot is named "Olympic Phryg," inspired by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and revolution. It represents allegorical figures of the French Republic, embodying the values of liberty, equality, and also fraternity. The choice of the mascot reflects the spirit of the Olympic Games and the cultural significance of France. However, this year a pair named "Les Phryges" will represent the Olympics as mascots.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">What to expect from the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony</h2>
The Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be unique and memorable. The opening ceremony will feature a spectacular floating parade along the Seine River. Athletes representing 200 countries will board 100 boats for a 3.7-mile journey. This parade will offer a visually stunning and symbolic start to the Olympic Games.

The parade route will wind past significant landmarks in Paris, including the National Library and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The floating parade symbolizes unity and cooperation among nations as they celebrate the Olympic spirit.Â 

After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame.Â 

Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be a grand and innovative spectacle. It will be a momentous occasion that captures the world's attention and sets the stage for an unforgettable Olympic Games.
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to get tickets for Paris Olympics 2024Â Â </h2>
Paris Olympics 2024 tickets are on sale to everyone worldwide. However, they are sold on a "first come, first served" basis. Anyone can buy the tickets through the official Paris 2024 website. Many sessions are already sold out, as people are crazy to be part of this prestigious Olympics and want to see their admiring champions competing.Â 

But there is nothing to worry about. New batches of tickets are regularly added so everyone can get the chance. However, the prices start at 24 euros (Â£21) for the Olympic events and 15 euros (Â£13) for the Paralympic games.Â 
<h2 style="text-align: center">How to watch the 2024 Paris Olympics</h2>
Though the Paris Olympics will go from July 26-Aug to 11, 2024, but the Opening Ceremony for the games will take place on July 26. There will be various events such as handball, rugby, soccer, and archery starting on July 24 and 25.

NBC and Peacock will broadcast live Olympic events, including finals in track, field, swimming, and gymnastics, both morning and afternoon. NBC will provide nine hours of daily daytime coverage. Also, there will be an enhanced three-hour primetime show in every night during the games. These will feature behind-the-scenes access, new technology, and athlete insights.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Iga Swiatek 2024: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</h2>
Becoming the first Polish player to win a Grand Slam singles title at 19, Iga Swiatek was just beginning her journey to becoming the World No. 1 when she took home the 2020 French Open. Winning the title again in 2022 and 2023, and also claiming the 2022 US Open, Swiatek has claimed the top spot for more than 90 weeks as the World No. 1 in womenâ€™s singles. She is also the first Polish player, male or female, to reach the top ranking in singles.

Having lifted 18 singles titles in her career so far, the 22-year-old is on a warpath to victory. A proponent of equal pay for men and women in sports, Iga Swiatek is leading the charge to bridge the pay gap in tennis.

Although she could not go too far in this year's Australian Open, she won the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/indian-wells-masters/">Indian Wells Masters</a> in March after defeating Maria Sakkari in straight sets. Previously, she also won the Qatar Open. With her second title win this season, Swiatek looks stronger than ever to clinch another Grand Slam title soon.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Iga Swiatekâ€™s Early Life</h2>
Iga Swiatek was born on May 31, 2001, in Warsaw, Poland, to Dorota and Tomasz Swiatek. Her father was a rower who competed in the men's quadruple sculls event at the 1988 Olympics held in Seoul. Her mother works as an orthodontist. She has a sister, Agata, who is three years older than her and works as a dentist.

Swiatek's father wanted his daughters to be competitive athletes. He preferred that they participate in individual sports rather than team sports, reasoning that they could have more influence over their chances of success. Agata started out as a swimmer but shifted to tennis due to difficulties with swimming. Iga followed in her sister's footsteps and started playing tennis as well. After all, what younger sibling doesn't want to emulate the older?
<h2 style="text-align: center">Â Iga Swiatekâ€™s boyfriend</h2>
Despite the fact that Swiatek would have a lengthy list of suitors, the current number 1 has decided to remain uncommitted to a romantic relationship. There is no information or rumor about her dating life, current or past.

[caption id="attachment_669807" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-669807" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-06-05T154853Z_915991635_UP1EH6517XFBE_RTRMADP_3_TENNIS-FRENCHOPEN.jpg" alt="Iga Swiatek" width="1920" height="1297" /> Tennis - French Open - Roland Garros, Paris, France - June 5, 2021 Poland's Iga Swiatek in action during her third round match against Estonia's Anett Kontaveit REUTERS/Gonzalo Fuentes[/caption]

According to multiple sources, Swiatek is single by all meanings of the term. On her social media pages, the young WTA star has not revealed anything about her relationships. She has also not been spotted with anyone in the media.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Iga Swiatek: Net Worth 2024</h2>
The highly successful Polish player has garnered a total net worth of $23.9 million, per Forbes, ranking her among one of the highest-paid female athletes.Â Her dedication, determination, and will to win have given her immense financial success, and it's only the beginning.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Iga Swiatekâ€™s Career</h2>
At the 2019 French Open, Swiatek reached the 4th round, stunning the 16th seed Wang Qiang in the 2nd round. In 2020, Swiatek reached the 4th round of the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/australian-open/">Australian Open </a>and the 3rd round of the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/us-open-2020/">US Open</a> before making a big breakthrough at the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/french-open-2020/">French Open 2020</a>, where she won her first Grand Slam title.Â The French Open breakthrough was massive as the 19-year-old won the tournament without dropping a single set and lost just 28 games all tournament. She defeated players like <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/simona-halep/">Simona Halep</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sofia-kenin/">Sofia Kenin</a> on her way to the title.

Following the slam, the Polish player performed to the best of her abilities to reach two Masters finals. French Open would prove to be her best once again as she went on to the final and won against Karolina Muchova in three sets.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Iga Swiatekâ€™s Records</h2>
At 22, Iga Swiatek is the first Polish player, male or female, to rise to glory in singles the way she has. With 4 Grand Slams already to her name, she had the longest winning streak in 2022 with 37 matches in a row from February until July. It was the first time in 25 years for a WTA player to claim that record, and Iga Swiatek has not stopped.

In November 2023, she became the first woman in 15 years, since Jelena Jankovic in 2007 and 2008,Â to record 65 tour-level wins in back-to-back seasons.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Iga Swiatek's sports psychologist?</h2>
Shining on the court is not the thing Iga Swiatek does. Taking benefit from the growing mental health support, Swiatek has also added a sports psychologist to her coaching team. Iga Swiatek and Daria Abramowicz have been together since 2019 when the Pole was only 17 and rated just outside the top 150 of the WTA. Although the two have maintained their partnership, their relationship sometimes comes off as a bit strange to some fans.

An interaction on the Netflix series Break Point showed the two talking during a haircut appointment. Abramowicz said that her hair needs to be long enough to be tied up, but Swiatek wanted a haircut of her own choice and went against her psychologist. The interaction and moment raised quite a few eyebrows, all in good fun!
<h2 style="text-align: center">Iga Swiatek: Coaching staff</h2>
Micha Kaznowski was Swiatek's primary coach in her early junior years, and she worked with him until the 2016 French Open. Jolanta Rusin-Krzepota was her physical preparation trainer for over four years, from the end of the 2014 US Open until the end of the 2019 US Open. Piotr Sierzputowski began coaching her in 2016.

While Sierzputowski was her coach, Nick Brown, a British former professional tennis player, and former Polish Davis Cup coach, served as a primary adviser on occasion. After nearly six years of collaboration, Swiatek announced her separation from Sierzputowski in December 2021. Tomasz Wiktorowski, who formerly coached Agnieszka Radwanska, is her current coach.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Iga Swiatekâ€™s Charity work</h2>
A true philanthrope off the court, Iga Swiatek never misses an opportunity to give back to the community. In November 2023, her racket used during the French Open final to beatÂ Karolina Muchova was auctioned for charity. Ultimately sold for around $63k, it was reported that all of the funds would go to charities fighting to raise awareness of road accidents involving children.

With her open fight for mental health support, Swiatek has also been donating to organizations that combat stigma against the same. "Each year around World Mental Health Day I have a special time when I stop for a moment and appreciate all the work on myself I do everyday as a person and as a tennis player,"Â Swiatek said last year.

Iga Swiatek 2024: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements

Iga Swiatek 2024: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements Becoming the first Polish player to win a Grand Slam singles title at 19, Iga Swiatek was just beginning her journey to becoming the World No. 1 when she took home the 2020 French Open. Winning the title again in 2022 and 2023, and also claiming the 2022 US Open, Swiatek has claimed the top spot for more than 90 weeks as the World No. 1 in womenâ€™s singles. She is also the first Polish player, male or female, to reach the top ranking in singles. Having lifted 18 singles titles in her career so far, the 22-year-old is on a warpath to victory. A proponent of equal pay for men and women in sports, Iga Swiatek is leading the charge to bridge the pay gap in tennis. Although she could not go too far in this year&#8217;s Australian Open, she won the Indian Wells Masters in March after defeating Maria Sakkari in straight sets. Previously, she also won the Qatar Open. With her second title win this season, Swiatek looks stronger than ever to clinch another Grand Slam title soon.

Her father was a rower who competed in the men&#8217;s quadruple sculls event at the 1988 Olympics held in Seoul. Her mother works as an orthodontist. She has a sister, Agata, who is three years older than her and works as a dentist. Swiatek&#8217;s father wanted his daughters to be competitive athletes. He preferred that they participate in individual sports rather than team sports, reasoning that they could have more influence over their chances of success. Agata started out as a swimmer but shifted to tennis due to difficulties with swimming. Iga followed in her sister&#8217;s footsteps and started playing tennis as well.

[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">How much is Mikaela Shiffrinâ€™s Net Worth in 2024? Know the answer</h2>
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.
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.
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.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Where was she born? Know about her early life, parents, and more </h2>
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'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.

<div class="jsx-1883686743">
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.
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.
