"At the Olympics is a totally different challenge,"
"I've had great Olympics, I've had tough Olympics. I try to go in with an open mind, good spirit, trusting my team,"
"We're coming in with strong athletes, so it's time to enjoy that."
"It just feels amazing to be here. I feel like when I was 15 years old still, like, I don't know, just love skiing. I just love skiing. That's the best feeling to be here,"
Mikaela Shiffrin secured the World Cup slalom season title with two races remaining, becoming the first skier in six decades to claim nine season titles in one discipline. She won both runs at the final slalom before the Milan-Cortina Olympics, beating Camille Rast by 1.67 seconds while the rest of the field trailed by more than two seconds. Shiffrin also reached her first giant slalom podium in two years the day before. She plans to start in slalom, giant slalom and the team event at the Olympics. The Czech venue hosted her World Cup debut at age 15. Lindsey Vonn currently holds eight downhill titles and leads that discipline standings.
