Alpine Skiing: Lindsey Vonn raves about Shiffrin:”Madness!”

The 22-year-old American Mikaela Shiffrin is currently enchanting the entire ski world. Of the last nine World Cup races, the technology specialist won eight, and once in third place.

The speed races in Bad Kleinkirchheim this coming weekend, however, will leave the American rider behind. This is a circumstance, however, which does not matter in any way with regard to the overall World Cup. Mikaela Shiffrin has a proud 821-point lead, in purely arithmetical terms she could even pause at least eight races for a long time.

“Lindsey Vonn, who is spreading roses to the country’s wife:” I hope that Mika will continue to do so. This is great for the American spectators and helps the sport”, says the 32-year-old experienced pioneer. Shiffrin currently holds 41 World Cup victories and Lindsey Vonn has won 78 times. Is it possible that Shiffrin might catch up with Vonn ten years his senior? There will always be a boy to follow. I need to look at my own records.”
