Mikaela Shiffrin, 17 WC victories in a single season. :bowdown:

To put that in perspective, with her 17 WC victories this season alone, she would be in Top 50 all-time for WC wins across men and women.

The very best and most successful season in (not only Alpine) Skiing of our history is over.

 

Petra rewrited our sports history during this winter so many times, let make a quick recap, 14 World Cup races podiums this winter, including 5 wins. missing only 1 Slalom and 1 Parallel Slalom podium during the whole season.

 

Beating the NR in Giant Slalom (previously 7th places) by 3 wins ! and one 3rd place in World Cup.

 

2nd place in the Overall Alpine Skiing World Cup final standing is something just unbelievable. + two 2nd places in WC final discipline standings (Slalom and Giant Slalom)

 

and last but definitely not least. Historic 3 medals at the World Championships, including the very first historic World Champion title for a Slovak Alpine skier in Giant Slalom

 

If Petra doesn´t win the Slovak athlete of the year this time, then I can not even imagine what successes other athlete(s) will reach this year to beat her

Yeah, and rude. It's not just her, by the way :p Way too many athletes don't get this rather simple bit of politeness

Apart from Sagan's 567th green jersey and obvious world title?

She was very shy for years though. It's only like in only the last two years she begins to laugh & enjoy it more. Remember her complete non-reaction to winning the gold in Vail when the crowd went nuts?

yeah, thanks for the jinx

I'd mention the Slovak ice hockey team at the home world championships, but we all know they're going to fail miserably sadly.

Wow Alice! I knew she was going to be good when she was killing everyone in continental cup at the age of 15, but no idea she’s going to be this good this fast! Incredible and her technique is so smooth.

 

60th win for Mika! And 4 globes this season, it’s hard to realize how good her season was in this moment, but hopefully she continues this form for a couple of years. I like how she’s learning from Maze not to go for too much, but I still feel she’s going to burnout faster than people expect.

 

Quite frankly only the injuries can stop her tbh. And the level of competition isn't very good. Only Vlhova can challenge her here & there. Veith is basically done with injuries, Gut hasn't recovered from hers much better and the new names are not really there unless maybe Robinson becomes the fresh sensation going forward? Holdener is a well-known choker so who is gonna deny Shiffrin now?

    • I really hope Nordic Combined doesn't get scrapped. Actually, I believe the Winter Olympics should keep growing with new sports and disciplines (3x3 Hockey, Ice Cross, Speed Skiing, Ice Climbing), otherwise they won't feel like a true celebration of sports like their summer counterpart.
    • In fact, well, no. Hockey is extremely physically demanding, I even think it is the most physically demanding winter sport of all. I mean keeping more than a minute on ice is just cardiac. The shifts are there for a reason.   25 players rosters are absolutely justified. You must have 4 lines to keep the stamina the whole game.   Hard to persuade people who never watched hockey though, I can understand your point, but sadly, the point is wrong
    • Stats are ok, but the time she losts on the range every time... My point was that she is more likely to make us losing the olympic relay than to make us winning it.  
    • I'll jump on the off-topic with an unpopular opinion - ice hockey isn't so stamina demanding to justify 25 people rosters. And it doesn't have big playing fields like football or rugby for example, where you'd require so many reserves. 15 field players + 3 goalies should be good. Or 18+3 at max. But 25 is too much imo and the constant substitutes are too much as well.
    • But her shooting surely never was horrendous, or even bad for her standards.
