Mikaela Shiffrin’s ski season was nothing short of extraordinary, as she concluded it on a triumphant note by achieving her 100th World Cup victory in Sestriere, Italy. This remarkable accomplishment came after she remarkably recovered from a severe injury sustained at a race in Killington. To top off her successful season, Shiffrin struck gold again in Sun Valley, celebrating her victories with the entire U.S. Ski Team.
Reflecting on the highlights from her season in the final episode of “Moving Right Along,” titled “Still Learning,” Shiffrin expressed her gratitude for the experiences and support she received from fans and teammates. The season finale at home during the World Cup Finals allowed her to experience a special atmosphere filled with encouragement, especially from young fans dressed as characters from “101 Dalmatians” during her momentous achievement of reaching her 101st World Cup victory.
This past season was not only about personal victories; Shiffrin also aimed to reach 500 points in the overall standings, which would enhance her starting position in next year’s Giant Slalom events. Her drive to achieve this goal added a sense of urgency and motivation to her performance in Sun Valley.
After the exhilarating World Cup Finals, Shiffrin embarked on a media tour in New York City and then traveled to Innsbruck to spend time with her fiancé, Aleks, rounding off a remarkable ski season. As she looks towards the upcoming Olympic year, Shiffrin remains committed to her journey of improvement and learning, expressing her appreciation for her supporters along the way.
This season not only highlighted Shiffrin’s resilience and dedication but also her ability to inspire the next generation of skiers. As fans eagerly await her return to the slopes in preparation for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, there is great anticipation for what more lies ahead in her illustrious career.
