Mikaela Shiffrin was expected to make history at the Beijing Olympics earlier this year. Rather than coming home with three gold medals, the superstar skier left with nothing.
The disappointment could have been crushing, but Shiffrin bounced back and won her 4th overall FIS Alpine World Cup.
Shiffrin sat down with HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel to discuss to roller coaster of a year. The clip below is just a quick preview, head over to HBO MAX to watch the full segment.
Say what you want about Shiffrin’s blunder at the Olympics. She’s still on here way to being the GOAT, and I honestly could give a crap about Olympic medals when it comes to skiing.
We all know that World Cup wins and titles are more important for a skier’s legacy.
