It was a rollercoaster of a ski season for Mikaela Shiffrin with enough ups and downs to make your spin but she ended on a high note securing her 100th World Cup victory in Sestriere, Italy after battling back from a gruesome injury suffered at a race in Killington. To put a cherry on top an incredible comeback, Shiffrin won again in Sun Valley and was able to celebrate with the entire U.S. Ski Team.
Cheers to Mikaela for an incredible season and an incredible career. Can’t wait to see you back on the snow in the fall and representing USA at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics!
Here we are…with the final episode of season 3 of Moving Right Along, aptly titled “Still Learning.”
I was able to reflect on the incredible moments so far in my career…the moments that give me inspiration, and will continue to inspire me for the rest of my career. Finishing the season on home soil at World Cup Finals was incredible, and I’m so thankful to the Stifel U.S. Ski Team for organizing the MIK100 party — moreover, it was so incredible to bring everyone together to celebrate such a successful season for our entire women’s team.
The crowd, the fans, the entire atmosphere — was so inspiring, and I really tried to take that inspiration and run with it. A highlight for me were the little girls dressed like the 101 Dalmatians for what did end up being my 101st World Cup victory. It was a really big goal for me to hit the 500 point mark for the season in the overall standings, in order to improve my start spot in GS for next year…so that added some urgency and motivation for me in Sun Valley too. What an electric atmosphere!!
Following World Cup Finals, I went to NYC for a media tour, and then onward to Innsbruck to visit my fiancé Aleks…which was the perfect way to end such a crazy season. As we take some time to look at this channel and see where we want to go with it in the Olympic year, I just want to thank you all for joining me for the ride. Still Learning…
Love, Miki
