Reply to comment by r2k398 in Mikaela Shiffrin gets her record 86th World Cup victory by Jokobib

I think that's the point. I spent many years as a huge sports fan, and other than hockey players, winter Olympians don't seem to stand out.
This person is the Tiger Woods of skiing, maybe even the Michael Jordan of skiing, and I have never heard her name before and I think that's a shame.

Edit: Maybe that's on me, too. To find these kinds of stories instead of waiting to be fed them.

I’ve heard of her and Vonn and then Body Miller and Jeremy Bloom on the men’s side. Those are the only skiers I can think of.
