Congratulations to Mikaela Shiffrin who just became the first skier to secure 100 World Cup victories. Her historic win happened in the slalom event at Sestriere, Italy, where she finished 0.61 seconds ahead of Croatia’s Zrinka Ljutic.

Mikaela returned to competition in January after a two-month recovery from a nasty ski pole puncture injury she suffered in Killington. So happy incredibly happy to see the greatest skier of all time finally cross the century mark. Cheers!
