While Beijing Winter Olympic was all about disappointments and setbacks, FIS Ski World Cup was somewhat of a mixed experience for the American skier. She had a couple of amazing races, but like always, she struggled with the consistency in the world cups as well. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/FOPezA_XwAgsslS-1.jpg] Nevertheless, she has already won her fourth world cup title with two spectacular performances in the first two races. With the overall crystal globe victory, she has now joined the league of fellow American skier Lindsey Vonn. Although the tournament didn’t end as she would have expected, it was something she would cherish for the rest of her life. MIKAELA SHIFFRIN COULDN’T WIN HER 13TH ALPINE SKIING CRYSTAL GLOBE While she had already won the overall title, there was still a crystal globe at the table. However, even after leading the race in the first run, Mikaela couldn’t turn it in her favor. In the overall giant slalom standings, Tessa Worley of France is at the top with 567 points [https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/sports/frances-worley-pips-shiffrin-hector-win-giant-slalom-title-2022-03-20/?taid=62371e4b21eb7e0001aa4b4f&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=twitter], followed by Sara Hector on second and Mikaela Shiffrin on the third place, respectively.

However, she brought forth her A-game in the competition and defended her world cup rank as well as won the world cup.

<h2><strong>History of FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup</strong></h2>
The FIS Alpine Ski World Cup is the premier international circuit where the top athletes have been competing since 1966. In its inaugural year, the participants were a small group of <strong>skiing </strong>buddies, which included experts such as Serge Lang, Honore Bonnet, and Bob Beattie. That very year, it received accreditation from the International Ski Federation and became the full-fledged tournament we know today.

Next year, the first recognized <strong>Skiing World Cup</strong> was held in Berchtesgaden, West Germany, where Austria’s Heinrich Messner won a slalom. French skier Jean-Claude Killy and Canada’s Nancy Greene took the winner’s trophy home in the first two seasons.
<h2><strong>Rules and Events in FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup</strong></h2>
The end goal of any athlete participating in the <strong>Skiing World Cup </strong>is to acquire the best times in the four disciplines of <strong>alpine skiing</strong>: downhill, slalom, giant slalom, and super-G. However, there is also a fifth event known as the combined, which is a mixture of slalom and downhill. According to the rules and the scoring system, the winner of the fifth category is chosen using an aggregate of the points earned in the two disciplines.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-977020 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-03-20T142823Z_612562550_UP1EI3K1479TX_RTRMADP_3_ALPINE-SKIING.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />

The scoring system in existence today was conceptualized and implemented in the 1991-92 season. As per the new rules, each of the 30 top finishers will earn a point. Depending on their position on the leaderboard, the winner will earn 100 points, the first runner-up will earn 80 points, and the second runner-up will get 60 points. The athlete who finishes 30th will receive one point.
<h2><strong>Crystal Globe and Its Significance </strong></h2>
The <strong>skiing </strong>paragon with the most points will receive the coveted crystal globe. While the winner's globe weighs 9 kgs, the winners of the individual races also get a smaller crystal globe of 3.5 kgs. It is the dream of ski racers to hold one of these globes, and for this, they brave the bone-chilling snowy hills and the risk of fatal injuries. The origin story of these crystal spheres is quite fascinating and dates back to 1987. The Bavaria-based acclaimed German glassblowing expert Joska Kristall, took charge of the project and earned the contract to manufacture them in 1989.

Every year, the company makes<em> "33 of the small cups, 17 of the big cups, 17 for the nations cups and 177 medals of glass"</em>. Alouis Adam, the current operations manager of the company, explained the craftsmanship that goes into making each globe. An expert glassblower must toil for two days at 1,200 degrees Celsius to create each masterpiece. Thereafter, the globe is left to cool for 24 hours before carving the design using a minute diamond cutter.
<h2><strong>Prize Money for FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup</strong></h2>
Besides the beautiful trophy and the bragging rights, the winner also gets a huge sum of money as a cash prize. Mikaela Shiffrin dropped jaws in March by winning a total of $1 million dollars. There are cash prizes for all individual events throughout the circuit, and an athlete can rack up their earnings by participating in as many events as possible.
<h2><strong>Venue to host the start of the 2023-24 season</strong></h2>
The <strong>alpine skiing </strong>community is eagerly waiting for 28 October <strong>2023</strong>, when the World Cup will kick off with a huge pomp and show. The 58th edition of the <strong>Skiing World Cup</strong> will start in <strong>Soelden</strong>, <strong>Austria</strong>.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-1600664 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1025586802h.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1289" />

The member federations convened the FIS Council Spring Meeting on 24 May and approved the dates and venue for the entire season.
<h2><strong>Major sponsors backing up the event</strong></h2>
Hosting such an elaborate tournament would not have been possible had it not been for the support of all the sponsors. The title sponsor for the <strong>2023-2024</strong> FIS Alpine <strong>Skiing World Cup</strong> is Audi. Swiss watch brand Longines is the <em>"official timekeeper"</em> for the World Cup. The Combined &amp; Ski Jumping is sponsored by Viessmann and the cross-country races are sponsored by Coop.
<h2><strong>Changes ahead of the events surrounding the World Cup</strong></h2>
The <strong>Skiing World Cup</strong> has undergone many changes in the 2023-24 season, the first of which concerns the opening day. This year, the World Cup will start a week later than its traditional <strong>schedule</strong> due to the climate. Also, the finale in Saalbach-Hinterglemm has been extended for the first time in history by two weekends.

This year, the FIS is also introducing a new discipline in the form of a combined team. Additionally, all parallel competitions, including the Lech-Zürs and the World Cup in Lake Louise, have been halted. This year, the Russian and Belarusian skiers will be absent from the World Cup due to the Ukraine conflict.
<h2><strong>Record holders to watch out for ahead of the major event</strong></h2>
Mikaela Shiffrin and Marco Odermatt are the absolute kings and queens of <strong>alpine skiing</strong>. With 86 World Cup victories, the American is the most successful alpine skier irrespective of gender. Her male counterpart from Switzerland is called Mr. Consistency for good <strong>results</strong>. Beside them, Norwegian racer Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is poised to take the throne beside girlfriend <strong>Mikaela Shiffrin</strong> this season.
<h2><strong>The hype of the Gen Z stars</strong></h2>
Many rising stars are vying to topple the previous monarchs from their thrones. Among the contenders for the queen’s crown is <strong>Paula Moltzan</strong>. In 2015, this Minnesota native won the gold in the Junior World Championships and represented the USA in the 2022 Winter <strong>Olympics</strong>. Meantime, Odermatt must look out for three-time Youth Olympic Games gold medalist <strong>River Radamus </strong>and three-time Olympian <strong>Tommy Ford</strong>. Both are girded to snatch the crown from the Swiss star in the upcoming showdown.
<h2><strong>All Historic Results and Wins</strong></h2>
As already mentioned, <strong>Mikaela Shiffrin</strong> leads the world with 86 wins, followed by Sweden's Ingemar Stenmark. In third place on the overall leaderboard, another American woman, Lindsey Vonn, shines in golden hue with 82 wins. Shiffrin is the supreme leader of the women's scoreboard in terms of points earned, too. Her involvement in the 2023-24 FIS <strong>Skiing World Cup </strong>has taken the excitement to a whole new level.

[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. (Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)[/caption]
<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>

(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.
