So great to watch her fly….. and her competitors as well. Let’s not say anything about trail cover and the newbie masses. Two runs was enough.

This video captures the excitement as Mikaela wins the Slalom race.

Matisyahu, known for blending traditional Jewish themes with reggae, rock and hip hop sounds, played between the first and second races. This video is significant as the son of Kzone's own 180 handed the Israeli flag to Matisyahu (at 3:50 in the song).

Spencer and Mikaela have something in common, they both crush Superstar!

Re: Mikaela Shiffrin Fan Thread
It was interesting to see her initial post 2nd run reaction how she was most concerned about putting on a good show for folks. The pressure on the "home hill" being last in the start box must be insane. She made Preston's pitch look like a walk in the park.

Re: Mikaela Shiffrin Fan Thread
The last three were all incredibly quick = Petra's run was amazing, which made Mikaela's even more amazing. I took 150 shots from the back row of the grandstand over this 5 gate sequence - here is one of themCaptain Hafski wrote: ↑Nov 27th, '23, 09:29 Unreal - Way to Ski it Like a Girl !!

Yup, that was me! I moved from sitting with Merissa to just over one aisle to the left to stablize against the hand rail and to be away from Merissa's jumping up and down.Captain Hafski wrote: ↑Nov 28th, '23, 10:12 Nice Shot - I think we were right next to you !!
