The last renewal had come in 2018, in the midst of a career in which he continued to reap successes until the sudden stop last February, due to the death of dad Jeff. Mikaela Shiffrin restarts and does so by making the extension of two more years official with Atomic, which will supply skis and boots to the three-time winner of the World Cup until 2022; a house, the Austrian one, with which he lived the entire trip in the white circus, from the first podium in December 2011 in slalom in Lienz, at the time of 16 years old, to the 96th and last of last January 26 when he won the super-g of Bansko. As Mikaela underlined during the live social network that sanctioned the agreement, “Atomic has always meant a lot, considering that they followed me well before I arrived in the World Cup. For me they are the best skis in the world and I am grateful to them for the extraordinary support they provide ”. The Altenmarkt brand looks forward to its brightest star for the classic Media Day pre Soelden ("we really hope we can do it without problems," said the managers), which will also be attended by Sofia Goggia, also under contract until 2022, and the men's World Cup winner Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who kept the crystal ball in Salzburg after Hirscher's eight consecutive triumphs. In the meantime, Shiffrin trains in Colorado, waiting to be able to return to the snow after months, and confesses that "it was not easy in this period, after my father's death, to manage all non-ski situations, from contracts to sponsors" . And on the proposal to move the World Championships in Cortina, from 2021 to 2022, diplomacy is not lacking: “It would be a very complicated and hardly conceivable situation after the Beijing Games, better still not to think about it. Meanwhile, let's see what kind of season we can have after Coronavirus ".
