Mikalea Shiffrin has achieved her World Cup wins in six disciplines: slalom, super-G, giant slalom, alpine combined, parallel slalom, and downhill events. She notched her 100th World Cup victory in the slalom event at Sestriere, Italy.

During her interview with SELF in February 2025, the athlete reflected on the significance of her career milestone, winning her 100th World Cup race.

"Flash forward to where we are now, and this is far beyond anything I had ever imagined for my career. I feel like nobody should have ever been in a position to be here in the sport, and I don’t know why I am."

She continued,

"I mean, I get it—hard work, a great team around me, all the tangible pieces that have built up to this moment. But if you think about it as a deeper, more philosophical question of, “Why me?” I couldn’t tell you. There’s a lot to be grateful for in this moment, and that’s what I’m feeling."

The Vail, Colorado, native is the youngest woman in history to clinch a World Championship and the youngest athlete in both categories to win an Olympic medal. She achieved the feat in the 2014 Sochi Olympics by winning the gold medal in the slalom race event.
