Zitat des Tages von Mikaela Shiffrin:

The harsh cold and windburn from hours of skiing does a lot of damage to my skin, so I try to keep my skin as moisturized as possible.

In the end, I want to be an inspiration to somebody.

Mikaela Shiffrin

I can't really picture a time when she won't be on tour with me. Mom has always been my best friend. But, yes, eventually she might get sick of it.

Drama holds you back.

I have all these things I want to do, but I don't have to do them right away. Because it's not just about winning, it's about succeeding, which to me are two different things.

You can't ever make the perfect run, but you can make the best run, and then you clock the fastest time, and that's a win.

It rained a lot in New Hampshire, and when I skied, the snow was icy and hard, and the mountains were small.

My parents strapped a pair of plastic skis on my boots when I was two years old and sent me down our driveway in Vail. Of course, they were holding on to me the whole time, but that was my first experience 'skiing.'

When you have two races in a row, it's really important to keep that mental energy stable.

I have some really lofty goals that don't even scratch upon the Olympics.

If you don't think it's possible to win five golds, go talk to Michael Phelps.

People watch the Olympics because they want to believe in heroes; I know I did.

Sometimes I feel surrounded by this dark cloud, and it feels like I can't breathe. It's nervousness and I don't know what else.

Mikaela Shiffrin

Here's the thing. You can't get ten thousand hours of skiing. You spend so much time on the chairlift. My coach did a calculation of how many hours I've been on snow. We'd been overestimating. I think we came up with something like eleven total hours of skiing on snow a year. It's, like, seven minutes a day.

Some sports, you see some athletes just walking around the gym not really doing anything, eating food. They're first to the lunchroom, never lifting weights.

Mikaela Shiffrin

When I'm in the starting gate, it's just me and the hill.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that carbs are bad. It's a fad right now. Full disclosure: I'm sponsored by Barilla. But I've always been free about saying I love carbs, including pasta, in moderation.

Mikaela Shiffrin

Pasta is my superfood! Balance and moderation are the basis for my diet, though, so I also make sure to incorporate plenty of protein, fruits, and veggies throughout the day.

My dream job has always been to be a ski racer.

I haven't had to make a decision between 'my brand' and money. Everybody seems to get what I'm going for: the healthy lifestyle, staying active, being young and youthful.

Things you don't expect come up, and you have to adapt. You can't let it throw you off. You have to cope. Those are all really valuable skills, in life and racing.

My whole thing is simple, well-balanced meals. I have to say, though, that I really like dessert. I try not to eat dessert every day, but I'll have dessert every now and then.

Mikaela Shiffrin

Dream big, but don't be upset if it doesn't happen.

Mikaela Shiffrin

I think part of the fun about walking around in ski boots is making it look as awkward as possible. I really think that's enjoyable. I don't know why.

Mikaela Shiffrin

I always practice, even on the cat tracks or in those interstitial periods. My dad says, 'Even when you're just stopping, be sure to do it right, maintaining a good position, with counter-rotational force.' These are the kinds of things my dad says, and I'm like, 'Shut up.'

I've learned some quick tricks about how to fix my hair so I can dash somewhere unexpected and still be O.K. when someone stops me to take a picture.

I was lucky enough that my parents knew about World Cup skiing, so since I was really little, we were watching World Cup winning runs.
