Mikaela Shiffrin reacts to compatriot Jessie Diggins' third-place finish at Tour de Ski?

Mikaela Shiffrin recently reacted to fellow American Jessie Diggins' performance at the 2024/25 Tour de Ski. Diggins, who is a medalist from the 2018 Winter Olympics, secured third place overall at the Tour de Ski after finishing in sixth place in the final climb of the event.

The 33-year-old followed the Norwegian duo Therese Johaug and Astrid Slind, who secured first two places in the final round at the Val di Fiemme course in Italy, the venue designated for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics. While Johaug clocked an impressive 35:59 in the final round, Diggins concluded in sixth place after finishing 54.3 seconds behind the Norwegian.

The weeklong event, a significant part of the World Cup season, is known for the most demanding cross-country skiing, including seven stages over nine days and more than 80 kilometers of racing covering more than 80km of racing, and challenges the athletes in both classic and freestyle events with sprint and endurance distances included.

The final stage on Sunday involved a challenging 10km freestyle climb up an alpine skiing course with an average 12-percent grade in the Val de Fiemme. When Shiffrin secured medals at the 2018 Winter Games in the Giant Slalom and Combined event, Diggins earned a gold in the team sprint event.

Stifel U.S. Ski Team was congratulated by the brand, for her recent victory. Shiffrin shared that post on her Instagram story and added two flexed biceps emojis.

Mikaela Shiffrin endured a nasty fall during the Stifel Killington Cup in Vermont. The American skier stumbled during her second attempt while nearing the finish line. She had to be assisted off the course on a sled.

Shiffrin was forced to undergo a surgery. Days after the unfortunate event, she gave her fans a glimpse of her recovery process, where she was seen training in the gym. Sharing the video, she wrote:

"Making progress over here…I can move and sweat and use my body which is so exciting! This next phase of recovery is all about getting my strength and conditioning back as much as possible while working within the limitations of my obliques. Long hours of gym/rehab time but it’s coming along and I’m so happy with that."

She added:

"There’s a little ways to go before I’m ready to truly ski with intensity—from a pain and a fitness perspective—but I am psyched with where we’re at now, kicking off 2025!"

The fall at the Killington giant slalom delayed Mikaela Shiffrin's wait for a 100th World Cup win.
