Mikaela Shiffrin Reflects on PTSD and Future After Historic 100th World Cup Win

The record-breaking skier opens up about her recovery, mental health challenges, and her evolving goals in the sport.

Mikaela Shiffrin achieved her 100th World Cup victory in Sestriere, Italy, becoming the first alpine skier in history to reach this milestone.
Shiffrin faced significant physical and mental challenges this season, including recovering from a severe abdominal injury and battling PTSD after a crash in November 2024.
She described the achievement as a personal reset, focusing less on records and more on rediscovering her motivation and potential in skiing.
Shiffrin is also committed to making skiing more accessible, partnering with the Share Winter Foundation to fund opportunities for young people to experience the sport.
Her fiancé, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, is recovering from surgery, and Shiffrin highlighted the importance of health and happiness beyond competition.
