⛷️ American slalom queen Mikaela Shiffrin is ready to explore her abilities in downhill skiing after becoming the most successful competitor at the Alpine World Cup, the twice Olympic gold medalist told Reuters
Shiffrin surpassed Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark's record with an 87th World Cup win last month and then extended her haul to 88 titles as she etched her name in the pantheon of sporting greats.
"I don't think I could ever switch from slalom to downhill. But I do feel like I want to branch more into exploring what my abilities are in downhill," said Shiffrin. The seven-times World gold medallist was named among Time magazine's 100 most influential figures this year, with the ski community pinning its hopes on her to elevate the sport in the United States, which trails behind European powerhouses in terms of both fans and participation.
