OT: Mikaela Shiffrin wins 3rd straight WC season slalom title - link

Pretty much says it all:

Shiffrin, 20, has won every Olympic, World Championships and World Cup Finals slalom the last three seasons - going six for six.

Remarkable achievement at the age of 20.

I wish she would get more USA pub over some other pro athletes.

The athleticism required in competitive skiing is under-appreciated here, but I understand the realities of the US sports scene.

I commented on the same thing yesterday, Our "culture" sucks

One of the greatest, and toughest, athletes ever, and here in her own country she's best known as Tiger Wood's girlfriend.

I would love to see skiing get more exposure in the United States.

You're confusing Lindsey Vonn with Mickaela Schifrin.
