Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin are two of the finest female alpine skiers the world has ever seen, and their influence runs beyond the sport. Just like millions of young girls around the globe, the two Americans have also inspired the World's No.1 tennis player Iga Swiatek.

During the U. S Open 2023, the Polish star spoke about her relationship with the two skiing greats. Swiatek claimed that Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin were ‘huge inspirations’ for her. She added that she found the two sports to be similar as well.

Swiatek was quoted as saying by Eurosport:

"They are huge inspirations for me. I don't know, I just feel like our sports are kind of connected because these are the only two sports where I feel individual with women having the same events and the same rhythm as guys."
