Isn’t it comforting to know that even the best skiers in the world make mistakes?
Maybe it’s just me, but knowing that helps me sleep at night when I’m cringing at how badly I skied the day before…
Mikaela Shiffrin is undoubtedly the most dominant ski racer on planet Earth, but even she can accidentally punch herself in the throat after hitting a gate the wrong way.
Check out the funny video below:
10/10 would *NOT* recommend.🫣😅

I know the recoil of that pole directly to her throat definitely didn’t feel good. She must have put a ton of force on it to make it snap in half.
Props to Mikaela for sharing this video and breaking any pre-conceived notions that pros need to be perfect.
The pros are just like us. Except for the fact that they ski faster and better than any of us could ever hope to…😂
