Mikaela Shiffrin has made history by achieving her 100th World Cup victory on Feb. 23 in Sestriere, Italy. This extraordinary feat follows her recovery from a severe injury that occurred during the early season, marking a remarkable comeback. Shiffrin expressed disbelief at her milestone, indicating the personal significance of her journey in the sport. Despite a devastating crash in November that required surgery and a lengthy recovery, her determination and mental strength have fueled her success as she navigates the fine margins of competitive skiing.
I don't know that it's possible to dream about a milestone like this. It's too big. It's too long. It takes too much.
You're racing at your limit. There's fine margins in this sport. We have to be on the limit.
I always dreamed about good turns, step by step and trying to be better tomorrow than I was today.
Those crashes do happen. If I was just a few feet lower or a few feet higher, I might have missed the gate entirely.
