Congrats, I barely squeaked by that. Congrats to all the women. I’ve decided to come back and do it all again next year.””

Shiffrin also spoke about her plans for the future, saying, “”Just keep moving on. Going back to the US, going to get some beach time.””

Shiffrin’s achievements in alpine skiing have made her one of the most successful skiers in history. Her dedication and talent continue to inspire her fans and fellow athletes alike.
