Very cool gesture from one of Mikaela Shiffrin’s longtime sponsors following her gold medal performance in women’s slalom at the 2026 Winter Olympics which ended her eight-year Olympic medal drought and securing her fourth career Olympic medal. Oakley sunglasses sent Shiffrin a special package to commemorate the occasion with the following passage etched into a gold plate:
“Cheers to the embodiment of what is possible. Thank you for letting us join you on this journey. Embrace the moment of being who you are, all in an effort to be written in history. Always elevate and celebrate.—Oakley/2026 Gold” -Oakley
As always, Shiffrin was extremely grateful for the accolades and looks extremely sharp in her new special edition shades which seem to be a prototype model not yet available for purchase:
“Wow. Thank YOU for joining me on this journey, Oakley! Your support for all of these years means the world.” -Mikaela Shiffrin
We join Oakley in celebrating Shiffrin’s gold medal perfromance in Italy. Cheers!
