Mikaela Shiffrin

Over the past few days, some incredible things have happened…just to name a few:
•I had a really productive slalom training session, working through some of the variables I found challenging during team combined (always learning 🥴)
•Breezy got engaged! (and then Taylor Swift commented!🤯)
•Fede won super-G gold after an astounding return from injury 👏
•Jessie Diggins has been competing with her whole heart and soul (like always!) in every cross country event and just earned a bronze (despite bruised ribs)!💆‍♀️
•Chloe Kim returned from a dislocated shoulder, won silver, and then spoke so powerfully about how her sport and competitors continue to push her forward. 🙏

The Olympics shine a bright light on medals…and within this experience, what I treasure most are the quiet, meaningful moments of work, connection, and shared joy with my team. I am here for the skiing and the execution of my turns. My skiing in the first race didn’t come together the way I visualized. I fought for every hundredth and didn’t totally find the right execution. This was certainly cause for some disappointment, even amid the most wonderful celebration of Jackie and Paula.💛

That’s ski racing: fine margins, endless changing variables, and constant adaptation. We’ve taken the lessons, analyzed and adjusted, and are moving forward—with focus, intention, and belief in the practice.

Hard work. Full heart. Growth mindset.

The Olympics ask us to take a real risk on the world stage. One that requires courage and vulnerability to erroneous judgment and narratives built on a limited understanding of what this sport truly demands. And it all matters in the story of becoming the best version of ourselves. We love deeply because we know loss. We feel the pain of defeat because we’ve tasted triumph. Heartbreak and victory live right next door. Disappointment and gratitude often co-exist.

I’m grateful to be here, motivated and excited for what’s next, and proud to be part of this American team. May we all champion one another, tread lightly on what we don’t fully comprehend, and have the fortitude to keep showing up.

Go Team USA.

❤️ Miki

When WSJ. Magazine came to me with this cover opportunity, I wasn’t really sure how we’d be able to make it happen…the Olympic season was about to kick off and it was already a busy time. It was the women’s fashion issue, though. Of course I couldn’t say no. The team made it happen within the constraints of a tight schedule after the World Cup kickoff in Sölden, and they were so thoughtful throughout the process. Thank you to Edward Bowleg—one of the best and most creative stylists I’ve ever worked with. 

It was a beautiful day in the Ötztal Valley, and the landscape was breathtaking. Jason spoke with people close to me for this piece…from my brother to my fiancé and my physio. He spoke with people whom I admire deeply—Roger Federer and Simone Biles included. And, I love how it turned out.

As I said in the piece, I’ve had three Olympics and three wildly different experiences. Every experience has helped me grow, so from a personal perspective, nothing’s ever been negative. From a public perspective, it’s different. You’d love to grow and have the whole world be proud of you. But often, your biggest growth moments are when the world is actually kind of tearing you down. And that can be hard to sort of reconcile. As for medals at the Olympics—I’m the first to admit that I’m not a sure thing.

A special shoutout to the farmer who brought over his goats (which I honestly thought were sheep😅)…they were so cute.

To all of the people in my corner (and there are so many of you): thank you for all of your support in this journey. I wouldn’t be able to do any of it without you.

❤️,
Miki
