[Mikaela Shiffrin ⛷️ @MikaelaShiffrin]

It’s an incredible honor to be recognized by @TIME on their TIME100 list as an Icon in Sports alongside so many inspiring people.

To be honest, recognition like this always feels a little surreal. Even after all these years, there’s still a part of me that wonders, “Is this real?”

I’ve been fortunate enough to stand on top of the podium 121 times on the world stage, and I can honestly say it has never felt routine. Maybe from the outside, repeated success can start to look ordinary. Maybe that’s why some people call it boring. But from the inside, it’s anything but.

I still care deeply. I still get nervous. I’m still motivated to improve. I’m still chasing the perfect turn.

What means the most to me is being able to use the opportunities this sport has given me…not only to pursue excellence in skiing, but also to support causes I care about (like @ShareWinter) and hopefully make a positive impact along the way.

And none of it happens alone.

I’m endlessly grateful for my family, coaches, teammates, sponsors, friends, and all of you who have supported me through every high and low. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Much love,
Miki

@TheCinesthetic Most of them. Nepotism isn't about elevating the talentless but rather an unfair opportunity path foreclosed to others

@DanKelley66 It's Tony C, and that's before my time. The other 3, while upsetting, also forged in fire the heart of Red Sox Nation and frankly made the victories that much sweeter

@HawkEmDownChris Lots of great shows and they all deserve acknowledgment; not sure a ranking does much for any of them. Personally no show made me laugh more than Brooklyn 99, though.
