“If I ski my best slalom, I have a really good chance to take the victory,” Mikaela Shiffrin said. “But there’s a lot of other athletes who are sick of that. So we’ll see what happens.”
“It’s pretty impressive that the top two female skiers of all time are Americans in a sport historically dominated by Europeans,” Vonn wrote in a guest column for The Associated Press. “We’re 20 wins ahead of the next woman , which is a substantial margin. So it’s not even really close. It just speaks for our country as a whole and what we’re capable of doing.”
What’s more is that Shiffrin is only 27, while Vonn was 33 when she got to 82. Shiffrin could compete for many more years and win many more races, perhaps even set the new standard above 100 wins. Marcel Hirscher holds the record with eight overall titles and Moser-Pröll has the women’s mark with six.
