FILE – United States’ Mikaela Shiffrin competes in an alpine ski, women’s World Cup slalom race, in Soldeu, Andorra, Saturday, March 18, 2023. Shiffrin’s busy offseason has included concerts, building dedications and picking up awards. Now it’s time to get back to work for the all-time winningest World Cup ski racer.
On the training front, Shiffrin immersed herself in trail running, adapted to a coaching change and adopted a new attitude — “relaxed and flowy,” she called it — into her racing. The five-time World Cup overall winner has come to realize it’s OK to build throughout a season and that she doesn’t need to be at her elite best when the season kicks off Saturday with a giant slalom race in Soelden, Austria.
“So that motivation doesn’t change because it just kind of resets every year,” said Shiffrin, who’s from Colorado. “That’s where my head’s at.” The plan is for Shiffrin to try to add more speed races — super-Gs in particular — this season. But that’s all schedule and health willing, of course. Shiffrin also spent quite a bit of time with Kilde, too, even scripting a dance together to ABBA’s “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” while standing on the slopes in ski racing attire. Shiffrin also picked up the best female sports athlete award at the ESPY awards. That’s not all — she had a lodge named after her at Camp Arrow Wood in Massachusetts. She said her lodge is right next to the one named for basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan.
