Mikaela Shiffrin made history by securing her 100th Alpine skiing World Cup victory with a slalom win in Sestriere, Italy. She finished 0.61 seconds ahead of Croatia's Zrinka Ljutic, making her the first ever skier to achieve this milestone. Shiffrin expressed gratitude for the support from her teammates, competitors, and coaches. After overcoming a significant setback due to a crash in a previous race, she showcased her resilience. Compatriot Paula Moltzan placed third, emphasizing the teamwork among skiers. Shiffrin's achievement highlights her remarkable career and enduring dominance in the sport of skiing.
I'm so grateful, a tearful Shiffrin said after her historic victory in Italy. Everybody's been so nice and so supportive. All of my teammates and competitors and coaches and the whole World Cup.
I think it's pretty special to share it with Paula. We just keep pushing she pushes, and I push. And we made it achievable.
Today a lot of things had to go right for me and actually wrong for some others. Camille, on the first run, was just so fast.
Despite that, Shiffrin won a record-equalling 15th career world championships medal earlier this month in Saalbach, when she and downhill champion Breezy Johnson struck gold in the new women's team combined event.
