Mikaela Shiffrin on Vonn’s record: ‘If it’s the last win of my career that’s fine with me’

If she is now familiar with the legend of her sport, Mikaela Shiffrin does not want to ignite. “I always want to win, but if it’s the last win of my career that’s fine with meshe said at a press conference. With Lindsey (Vonn), we never really talked about the record together. She talked a lot about (Stenmark’s) record when she was so close to breaking it, she was pushing it as a real goal.”

The American hammered it: erasing Lindsey Vonn’s mark in the record books is not “an objective“. “The important thing is that his career remains legendary, etched in the history books. For my part, I am happy with my career. For me it doesn’t matter five in a row, 81 or 51 (note: his slalom victories), it’s hard to make sense of these numbersshe repeated. Lindsey wished me a happy new year and said she couldn’t wait to see me skiing, I returned the happy new year to her.”

For Mikaela Shiffrin, the year 2023 could be historic from Thursday with a new slalom in Zagreb.
