Mikaela Shiffrin opens up on her impressive career feat of 100 World Cup wins

Mikaela Shiffrin recently shed light on her achievement of 100 FIS Ski World Cup wins. In an interview a few days after her victory in Sestriere, the 29-year-old said that this feat is just more than a number for her and also mentioned that she didn't expect this feat to come in this injury-prone season.

Additionally, she also spoke about her mental health situation and compared it to the time she faced after her father passed away. She said (via NBC Sports):

"There’s so much more meaning to this one than a number or a record. I wouldn’t say it’s a relief, honestly. I would say it’s almost a surprise after everything that’s happened in the last months. I honestly did not anticipate 100 was going to happen this season, so I’m thankful. It has been feeling very similar, to be honest, to this kind of mental fog that I had the year after my dad passed."

Mikaela Shiffrin also said during the interview that she has been speaking to her psychologists and teammates constantly to address her mental health and is free to listen to advice.
