On the front line. Mikaela Shiffrin has spent in no uncertain terms to raise funds in favor of the US Ski & Snowboard Team, considering that the federation of stars and stripes has been struggling, for years now, to support the activity of its athletes (even of high level ).
The three-time winner of the World Cup thus again participated in an event in which a collection of as many as 500 thousand dollars was announced, in the context of the celebrations for the first historic triumph in the NHL of the St. Louis Blues, the hockey franchise on ice that won the 2019 Stanley Cup and gave Shiffrin the team's personalized jersey with No. 2.
"A big thank you to St. Louis, they did something incredible with my young team-mate Ainsley Proffit (born 2001 native of the city of Missouri) - said the star of Colorado - unlike many nations in which we compete, the our body does not receive funding from the government, so events like this are fundamental for our team and the development of all athletes. Thank you for helping our dreams come true â€.
