Mikaela Shiffrin wins another multimillion slalom award

Mikaela Shiffrin has earned 17 global medals, finishing on the podium 17 times at the Olympic Games and World Championships. She has won two golds and a silver at the Olympics, and seven golds, four silvers, and three bronzes at World Championships.

She has achieved gold at six consecutive World Championships (2013–2023). When Shiffrin won gold in the combined event at the 2021 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, she became the first skier to win a gold medal at five consecutive World Championships. She also won four consecutive slalom world titles from 2013 to 2019, making her the first athlete to do so in any discipline.

She has won 16 Globes in her 13 seasons, including five overall Crystal Globes and ten discipline titles (eight in slalom, two in giant slalom, one in super-G). Her eight slalom titles are an all-time record in one discipline.

Shiffrin has 59 World Cup slalom wins, the most for any skier in one discipline, and 22 World Cup giant slalom wins, surpassing Vreni Schneider’s previous women’s record.

She has six World Cup slalom wins at Killington from six starts and seven World Cup slalom wins at Levi, a record at that venue. At Semmering, she has seven World Cup wins (three slalom, four giant slalom) from 11 starts.
