Mikaela Shiffrin delivers an off-snow masterpiece

Mikaela Shiffrin is one of the world’s greatest and most popular Alpine skiers. Achieving breakthrough records as her career progressed was not an easy process, as evidenced by Shiffrin’s YouTube video, ‘Moving Right Along’ Season 2, Episode 4, titled “The Love of the Turn.” U.S. Ski & Snowboard and Ski Racing Media journalist Mackenzie Moran praised the YouTube video teaser, reposting it on Instagram with the caption, “I’ve been so burnt out, for so, so, long. From the industry culture. The politics. The Exclusivity. The disbelief. All of it.” 

Shiffrin shared the same on her Instagram account, adding, “Thank you for jumping in last minute…for all of your work on this.” Moran is a persistent hard worker who provides honest coverage on usskiandsnowboard.org, keeping close tabs on Mikaela’s World Cup victories. As for Shiffrin, she opted to start the season’s preparations in her hometown—Colorado—and trained on Copper Mountain’s slopes for the upcoming 2024–25 season. Just last week, the 29-year-old won the 2024 Hickok Belt Award, earning the attention of fans all across the world.

In a roller-coaster journey this season, Mikaela Shiffrin suffered one of the worst crashes of her career while skiing downhill on the Cortina d’Ampezzo slopes on January 26. Given the gravity of the accident, she had to be airlifted to a nearby hospital for a medical checkup. After her comeback, Shiffrin extended her winning streak to 60 in the women’s slalom and won her 97th World Cup event on March 16, 2024, in Sweden. While many await her perspective of alpine skiing on YouTube, here’s what one can expect from the latest drop.

Key takeaways from the latest YouTube episode

Mikaela Shiffrin answered a few burning questions: Firstly, what motivates her? She went on to profoundly explain, “The work in and of itself—all of the time on snow, video analysis, all of this is, in and of itself, what motivates me.” All of this contributes to her performance being at its peak. That is the motivating factor—not a record, a performance, or an award that she hopes to accomplish before the conclusion of my career. It’s simply executing the task as well as she can.

Another important question she answered was, “Will 100 happen?” It’s pretty difficult to say. It could, but it might not. One thing I know for certain is that the number itself has no effect on my motivation. Things happen unexpectedly.” Following a brief break from speed training, now the world is eager to see Mikaela Shiffrin climb up the ranks as the most dominant alpine skiing athlete of the twenty-first century.
