He has to be the most emotionally secure man on the planet. His 20 race wins, four discipline championships, and one overall championship make for an impressive trophy case. Shiffrin could have a trophy room.
Could watch her race all day. She has the grace, power, and focus of a cheetah. She is the equivalent of watching Mikhail Nikolayevich Baryshnikov on skis. These words are all so inadequate. So, let's just say, she is, without a doubt the greatest skier God has ever created....so far. There's a kid out there who has been lit on fire by her. Bravo Mikeala and to everyone who helped you get here!
Mikae,a Shiffrin is a once in a century skier, but if you want ultimate grace check out "Ted Ligety GS Slow Motion", and I think Lindsey Vonn had more power in beast mode. It's her focus and combination of skills and her winning across all disciplines that makes Mikaela the greatest ever.
Next year.. with a bit of training from Mik.. he might do well in Slalom.. or at least combined.. I am not sure tho.. because to as badass on downhill.. you have to have insane strenght in legs.. I'm 48 and I have tried with semi decent skis on some turns.. and my weight is 75kg... no way .. I was maybe doing half the speed they are at .. splosh right out. My legs simply did NOT have the strenght to control it.
