28-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin recently made headlines after she was added as a nominee for the reputed Laureus Sportswoman of the Year Award 2024. The skier expressed her happiness to Laureus Sports,

“2023 was an absolutely incredible year for me - and was even more special after what I've experienced in the last few years. Since I reset the record last season, I've thought a lot about why a record is actually important to an athlete.. and I've come to the conclusion that it's not important to merely break records or reset records,” Shiffrin said.

She continued,

“It's important to set the tone for the next generation and inspire them. That's why I'm honored to be nominated for the Sportswoman Award once more alongside such an inspirational group of fellow athletes,” she concluded.

The skier rightfully deserves the nomination for remarkable achievements last year. Shiffrin won a total of 11 World Cups in 2023.

She surpassed legendary skier Ingemar Stenmark for the most World Cup wins by any alpine skier by bagging her 87th World Cup in March last year. Presently, she has 95 World Cup wins to her name.

Notably, the results of the award will be announced on April 22.
