Mikaela Shiffrin was introduced to skiing at a young age by her parents, both former ski racers. Shiffrin claimed her first world cup victory in Åre Sweden at 17 years old, the opening chapter of what would become an illustrious career as one of the best alpine skiers of all time.
Mikaela Shiffrin made her Olympic debut at the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014 Games becoming the youngest-ever slalom Olympic champion at 18. At the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018, she won a gold in giant slalom to become one of three Americans with two Olympic golds in alpine skiing.
Shiffrin would continue to win four medals at the 2021 FIS Alpine Ski World Championships and head into the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 with high expectations. At the Beijing Games, Shiffrin recorded three DNF in events that she had medaled in at previous Winter Olympics, and her best finish was fourth in the mixed team event.
The following season, Mikaela Shiffrin had a historic 2022-23 season breaking Ingemar Stenmark's previous mark for all-time world cup wins before securing five medals in five races at the 2023 FIS Alpine Ski World Championships. At the 2025 FIS Alpine Ski World Championships, coming back from an injury that sidelined her for two months of the season, Shiffrin won gold in the team combined event with Breezy Johnson tying the all-time record for most FIS World Championships medal in alpine skiing history (15) and becoming the only skier to do it since World War II when the world championships moved to a biennial format.
Off the slopes, Shiffrin launched the Jeff Shiffrin Athlete Resiliency Fund in 2020, which has raised millions of dollars to help athletes struggling financially or struggling to train properly. After her 100th world cup win, she pledged to raise $100,000 dollars to Share Winter an organization that specializes in learn to ski and snowboard programs for youth who otherwise would not have access to these sports. Shiffrin raised nearly five times her expected goal in just a few months.
