From their very first step to the first time, they say something. A mother has a very crucial role in a child’s life. You may be one of the top Olympians in the world, like Mikaela Shiffrin. Still, the bond she shares with her mother remains the same.
The 26-year-old American skier had an awful experience at the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022. Going into the Olympics, she was the top favorite. However, in every event she took part she was far from the podium. She was disqualified in two of the events. But as they say, it’s just a bad day and not a bad life. Mikaela has led an incredible career, and one bad Olympic can’t outshine everything she has achieved while being part of team USA.
