Victory number 70 in the World Cup did not arrive, but the end of the season for Mikaela Shiffrin was nevertheless of a high level, with three consecutive second places between the slalom bis of Are, the same race between the narrow poles of Lenzerheide and the giant of the next day always at the finals.
On the overall balance of a year to be considered as a return for the 26-year-old three-time winner of the absolute crystal ball, she has already spoken extensively about it and the satisfaction is still evident, also considering the four medals at the Cortina World Championships, "also if in the cup the results were not the same as in previous years ".
Speaking to Bill Pennington of the New York Times, Mikaela confirmed that she felt "proud looking back and not even knowing if there was going to be a World Cup season, not to mention that I also injured my back in October". There is a great desire to look forward at Shiffrin, as demonstrated by the fact that the American champion managed to organize a series of tests on the Kuehtai snow with Atomic, also finding time for the classic end-of-season photo shoots, in specific case as a Longines ambassador.
And it is also a decisive job for an infinite champion like her, given that the weeks of skiing lost in 2020, practically for a good part of the period between spring and the following autumn, made themselves felt during the last winter of races. "I am motivated to fill in the missing pieces this season and ... get them back - added Mikaela - The very good aspect is being able to count on a team of quality and depth even in technical disciplines, like never before. ". From Paula Moltzan to Nina O''Brien, in fact, the United States has brought home results even with athletes who were not named Mikaela Shiffrin, not to mention Breezy Johnson in speed and despite the injuries of McKennis Duran and Wiles above all .
