Mikaela has an amazing grasp on what is really the point of competition - doing your best, regardless of what the stakes are. No giant self-promoting ego, unlike too many other athletes. Great role model for all young athletes, as well as people in general.

Mikaela’s emotional honesty is what gets me. I’m old enough to be her grandfather, and have enjoyed watching her mature as a human, overcoming the biggest emotional barrier she ever faced, the sudden and very unexpected passing of her beloved father. Living one’s life in public is surely painful and she has learned how to do that without artifice. No doubt the public fascination with GOAT is simply a PIA, and what carries her through is the solid inculcation from her parents of “make a few good turns.” There is a lesson in that, for all of us.

Good interviewer. He let her talk and did not interrupt. He listened. Congratulations to Mikaela and her team. Amazing accomplishment.

A great interview! So nice to have a chance to hear her express her thoughts and perspective in a more expansive format than the typical sound bites. Such a considered and humble approach to life and performance from one of the best athletes of all time. Just amazing ❤

Mikaela has an incredible sense of self-awareness and thorough mental strength training. I have never seen anyone else doing such a deep self-reflecting, honest, analysis in a casual media interview. She has done that before, right after the '22 Olympics. It is fascinating to hear these details that most other elite athletes would never reveal. Her skiing is unique in balance and grace - seemingly effortless. No one else could touch that. She skis just like Federer plays tennis. I bet in some other universe Shiffrin wins grand slams left and right and Federer is a top ski racer amassing crystal globes. GOATs!

It’s so refreshing to see the greatest person in any sport have an interview without a sponsor background, much less cheesy paneling.

Such an incredible role model! Focused on the accomplishment of execution, less on the result. Fantastic interview.

the greatest athlete of all time. After the 2018 olympics when the entire world expected a back to back gold in slalom and after that heartbreak in the 2022 olympics to bounce back in 2019 and 2023 to have 2 of the greatest seasons in the history of the sport with 17 wins, overall globe and 3 disciine globes in 2019 and possibly 15 wins, overall globe and 2 discipline titles in 2023. Increadible mental toughness and talent.

Aline Skiing is one of those few sports where you have to be ok with losing more than you win because that's the reality of it. Even Mikaela has more losses than wins. Focus on the process is what makes her so successful. I believe she is chasing the perfect run, and in the process, she has racked up a lot of wins as a byproduct of searching for the perfect turn, the perfect technique, and the perfect line. That's what it's all about! The Train Don't Stop!!! Choo Choo!

Mikaela always wears her heart on her sleeve, because you can't hide a heart that big.

What a great interview - thx! And what a terrific athlete and all around person. So many could learn from this interview.

She is such a star! I'm grateful to be alive to witness this. Great interview. Jeremy let her talk and didn't interrupt. So many interviewers are incapable of doing that.

She's phenomenal.

Just amazing great humble kid good for her not over yet

Great interview. As others have said, I found it really nice that Jeremy Schaap didn't interrupt, didn't try to strongly direct the conversation, just asked broad questions and let Mikaela talk. Just like I find it a great pleasure to watch her ski, I also find it a pleasure to listen to her speak, when she's given enough time to expand on some subject. One question he asked was how Mikaela would stay motivated now that with 87, she's passed everyone. To me the answer seems clear. 87 was never her motivation, and neither will 100 be. She is motivated by a love of skiing and a desire to improve. Maybe at some point that drive to improve will get focused more toward speed disciplines...

The greatest of all time! 🐐

Of course, Jeremy Schapp great interview! I really appreciate he just let her open up and talk and not try to interrupt her and ask more questions that weren’t relevant. Amazing how she puts her career, life and racing into perspective, so humble and gracious.

Haven’t seen him in ages. He’s getting old. He used to be the baby faced commentator.

Mikaela. thank you for being a true and real person who is grounded in life. Fantastic interview. Thank you for all your ups and downs of your career and how you handle them all with humility, and an open heart.

Always a great interview and a true class act. A genuine role model in every sense of the word....

I’ve watched videos of this young woman’s behind the scenes workouts and life. She has earned her success! Some of her workouts are just mind blowing. She’s a lot more than a great skier, she’s a world class all ‘round athlete. When the public only sees the final result, people think that is all there is to the sport. What these athletes go through just to be competitive, not to mention be successful, is incredible. They pay a huge price and work extremely hard. Us mere mortals can’t appreciate that, but it does help, and is fun, to see some of the behind the scenes peeks into what it takes to become this great. Congrats, Mikaela, on all of your success and hopes you continue to enjoy so much more.

She is up there with Hamilton, Federer, Serena, Tiger, Jordan, etc ... and he has at least one Olympics to go, some word cup seasons, World championships ... Unchartered GOAT territory :) We are lucky to witness her performance and hope she will talk in some book/documentary about her struggles, process, philosophy, etc

Good interview. She always talks about the process and her passion for the sport. Would love an interview that dives into those topics. What process does she use and how has it evolved? What drives her passion?

Amazing interview !!!

Very nice interview. Great insights

ESPN on KZread, baby!

I would love to see her skiing all time of the year, we go on Himalaya next, now that she won everything, from now on everything is just fun, stay with us fans & have some more fun because skiing makes life worth living and we have a suuuuper lot of fun together guys

WHAT A WINNER!! CLASS ACT.

Great interview. She’s so remarkable, as a person

Great interview, good job of letting her speak which is always so delightful. Baby you’re the best…as Carly Simon once said.

So important for winter sports,Mika is hard to describe.Well,it seems that alpine skiing has bred a guy somewhat equal to her;Marco Odermatt.He is unbelievable! But he have to redoo his past two seasons several times in order to reach Shiffrin's league.

I love my Mikaela Shiffrin. She's my fearless queen 👑👑👑👑. I'm a big fan of Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn both USA slalom skiers 🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲

Congratulations I'm forever a fan. I read her information about how to rehab. VG, A++

It is SO EZ to be a Shiffrin fan. I like to win -- and I vicariously win almost constantly.

Hello anyone and everyone that will read this. Just stopping by to wish you all a great day and I hope something amazing happens to you all!

Mikaela sheeeesh 😍

There is nothing to explain. She is a great skier and at the momente she is the best woman on skil The interviwer is putting laughable questions and would do his best to look for daisies!

She broke the record at the same place she had her first win; beautiful Åre, Sweden.

The best there is the best there was the best there ever will be....

So cool

I do no now what thra saying

I love the Olympics the women make a very strong statement

You need to set a goal. I suggest 100 wins. This may take more than 1 season. As long as you enjoy what you do you should continue. You are a role model for youth skiers, winter sports, women in sports, and more. You will be getting more attention than before please use this to promote skiing. Don't forget where you came from.

lol… oh boy, you have an opinion without having touched the skis… I saw a video with Ken Reed and he was skiing like Ted, those guys made the sport evolve and you expect him to stay stucked in a time bubble? Of course he changed his style, of course he keeps evolving. Have you seen videos of Stenmark? He develops skis for Elan nowadays, you think he developed them from his style back in early 80’s? Those guys, including Ted Ligety made the sport what is was today. I think I had a better style that Jean-Claude Killy after 2 years of skiing with my Rossignol foam skis… yeah…Wood was what metal is today. I think you go out of your way to discredit the man and for all he’s accomplished. He is the freaking most successful male US skier, ok Mikaela is now but he remains up there. Bode is 6 years older than Ted… who do you think Ted was looking up to as a model… Frigging Bode… is it a reason to copy him and not evolve? Is it a reason for Bode not to evolve. Patrick Roy is one of the best goaltenders ever…. His style does not even exist anymore. Anyways, I think Bode’s answer was very classy…. You deserve a slap behind the head… 😅. I think you use Bode’s name to generate clicks to a pretty useless video…. He speaks about Bomber and how it was a failure for him… Everybody fails at some point now he has a new project… all good for the ski community. By the way, Ted was involved in a posh private ski resort that failed miserably… do we care about it? Does it take away anything he’s done? Both these guys will always be much better than both of us at going down a hill…. Best regards.

Jeremy Schapp ...

Train don't stop FOO!

The interviewer's first question to winning athalete is a negative one. What's up with that?

Snow bunny

Why isn’t it clarified that she broke the Womens world record, don’t the Men and Women participate in different course rules?

Because she broke the women's record a month ago. That was 82 wins. This is Ingemar Stenmark's record of World Cup wins of 86.
