Climbed to 85 Cup victories, less than one from Stenmark’s record, the strongest skier ever tells Sportweek about her approach to life and sport: “I think positive and work hard. But the most difficult challenge is always being polite with who is around me. This makes me feel great”
Talking about numbers and records with Mikaela Shiffrin makes no sense. Not so much because she wins so often that you risk not keeping up, but because she just doesn’t care. Ok, on January 8th in Kranjska Gora you reached Lindsey Vonn with 82 victories and last Saturday, in Splynderuv Mlyn, you climbed to 85, just one step away from Ingemar Stenmark’s record. But to enter her world, to understand what goes through the mind of the greatest skier ever, to understand what still motivates her on the eve of the Courchevel and Meribel World Championships (February 6-19) we need to go further, delve into those numbers.
