Mikaela Shiffrin is literally dominating the white circus and even on Saturday in Soelden she will start as a big favorite, in the giant on the Rettenbach that, in reality, she tamed only once in her career (in 2014, winning ex-aequo with Anna Veith, at the time Fenninger) .
A few days after the opening, the 24-year-old from Colorado also spoke about her medium-long term prospects, pointing to the 30-year perspective (as it was in the case of Marcel Hirscher) as a threshold for possible evaluations on the continuation or less than career. "I guess I don't have a timeline, but I don't know how long I'll go on. I probably don't see myself going over 30 years, but at the same time I think that if at that moment I will still have desire and performance, then I will continue â€.
Everyone already predicts for her the first Lindsey Vonn women's record with her 82 victories (Mikaela is at 60, ed), then the absolute Stenmark at 86, but she says that records and titles are not the main motivation.
"That mentality of not thinking too much about results in an absolute sense made me" click "last year - Shiffrin confessed, referring also to the enormous pressure that was found on the shoulders of the PyeongChang Games - Last season everything was much more pleasant and I had the maximum fun, simply presenting myself in the race without feeling that I should perform at a certain level of expectations.
I will have the same kind of approach this season. "
