I read the excellent, very detailed 11-27-17 New Yorker article about Mikaela. I'm happy to be a new fan. When the article mentioned how she and her family learn skills like uni-cycling and ping pong, I figured she would have learned juggling too. As a juggler myself who enjoys the sport aspect of it, I'm happy to see it's part of her training @ 5:29. Go Mikaela go.
I believe her everything! Mikaela is magic, mysterious, unbeatable and strungest great super ski star! She will beat Stenmark and Vonn of victories in ski world cup! She wanna win even more than 100 victories!
WOW, this shows that talent is not enough, you got to have amazing discipline and dedication, be willing to put in 100% for years.... best wishes at the 2018 Olympics.
Let’s stop tearing each other down. I’m just thankful for good eye sight, hands and fingers to type and see such an inspiring beautiful person in MK. Have a blessed 2018. And go after what you passionate about!
Who knows if she is the best "athlete" skiing World Cup. Some others look stronger or faster (off the snow). The great thing is she has the best technical form of any skier- by far. You can't necessarily say that for Vonn, Hirscher, Maze, et al. Ligety had the best form before his injuries but he wasn't as dominant or dynamic as Mikaela. Best. Ever.
bo2web-Read some of her detailed history which includes her parents philosophy and input. Her father, who was a college ski racer is an anesthesiologist who has been part of the team operating on many pro skiers including Bode Miller. His philosophy is that many of the talented young skiers are pushed in to the speed venues of Super G and Downhill before they have the core body strength to handle the loads and stresses involved. You can almost hear him talking through Mikaela when she says that injury is on her mind all the time. Further that the minor knee injury she had 3 years ago was a very good warning for her. Says she backs off when conditions feel dangerous. She has had one dnf in the last three seasons. Will take a lower finish in one race, not to jeopardize a season or career. She also states that as she has had success in racing, many people are giving her advice, but she is very close with her parents and listens to them above all else. There is a reason why she stayed almost exclusively with slalom for the first 5 years of her career. Last year she moved tentatively to GS and finished second in GS WC points. This year she has a full schedule of GS and SL with a few races in SG and Downhill. She is committed to racing SL and GS at the Olympics. She has thought enough about SG and Downhill to know that they are scheduled after the others. She has raced Downhill twice this young season and has a win and a third which gives her confidence. There is a good brain on top of that skillful, powerfully coordinated body.-Ray
Johan P-Big difference. Hydrofoil surfboard is something you ride. The pump machine is pushing against powerful hydraulic forces which builds leg muscles for absorbing ski course bumps.-Ray
Great! Hard worker. Still amazes me that so much time is wasted lifting weights. With highly specialized equipment available to significantly increase rate of force development. It just makes no sense. Shaq, Jordan, Krayzelberg, Jefferson, Bowie etc all considered it their secret weapon.
?what is that machine at 5:00? that is awesome! slack lines are GOOD training tools. likewise the BOSU ball and pool toy ball. Hard work is the benchmark of the Champion.
no matter what the actual weight was she is not a power or olympic lifter she was training and sometimes going to parallel is not what you want. What really concerns me is the lack of wraps, a belt and a spotter and she is doing a 3 rep max not safe. I also didn't like her doing the balance straps over concrete either, I wonder what kind of trainer would let her work out in such an unsafe manner.
Ahahah-I am sure she would find nothing manly in you 3auh. What have you accomplished in your nothing life, besides growing your huge beer gut? You probably think skinny little bikini models are girls. The only skill they have is taking their clothes off. This woman is the best in the world at what she does. What are you best at? She travels around the world in private jets. You are still borrowing your moms car to go out and get drunk. This woman just got through modeling beautiful designer gowns for a cover shoot. You are still wearing that worn out t-shirt from a U2 concert you couldn't afford to go to. She is also a very good person and humble and kind.She is a beautiful strong woman who is going to leave a tremendous legacy. Much more than your bikini stick girls and you. -Ray
Being the 'best' female skier doesn't bring anything to humankind. I don't like skinny girls, I prefer some busty glamour models. Sorry but I have my own car. She travels in private jets but I bet she can still drive, she can't be so stupid. If you prefer 'women' with big thighs and very small boobs, it's your choice. Maybe you could try men. And I don't listen to U2. Progressive rock is far better in my opinion
So.............. In order to qualify as a woman, she must conform to your personal taste in sexual partners. Sounds like a personal problem, to me. And I can't think of a reason you think this video is an audition for your next sexual conquest. You've got to admit, though, she's got an adorable face. But you wouldn't know that, since you never look that high up.
Love her workouts -- so much variety and serious resistance work but also lots of play. World class!!!

BEAUTIFUL and STRONG

What an outstanding specimen of an athlete, let alone a woman. Good luck at the Winter Olympics!
Mikaela super girl,best trening..
she's got awesome coordination and skills.
I am impressed...she is great.
Absolutly great!! Good job, good result.
Multitalent!!!
she run not good. A powerful start but without using the foot. Runs through the heel. But she is skiing like a goddess! super!
Andrei Proniuk SHE IS AMAZING
MS isa BEAST!
I don't think running in slow motion does that much for you.
So many alpine pro skier have scars on their knees after several seasons !

Amazing
Mikaela shiffrin looks like jewel staite.
The best
Where is the bicycle pump track???
WANT.
The "pump machine" at 5:00 is still very cool.
the nearest thing like it is a low speed hydrofoil surfboard.

Impressive. Very... But then to be the world champion doesn´t come by accident.
Cool
Great! Hard worker. Still amazes me that so much time is wasted lifting weights. With highly specialized equipment available to significantly increase rate of force development. It just makes no sense. Shaq, Jordan, Krayzelberg, Jefferson, Bowie etc all considered it their secret weapon.
is there something she can't do? O_O
Win the World Cup in downhill, Super-G and giant slalom
?what is that machine at 5:00? that is awesome!
slack lines are GOOD training tools.
likewise the BOSU ball and pool toy ball.
Hard work is the benchmark of the Champion.
It's called a pneubounder apparently.
Looks European
Wow!! How much is she squatting in 1:02? So impressive.
285 pounds.
looks more like 300lbs , 4x45, 2x35, 2x5 + 45 for the bar = 300 x 3 reps , my best was 472 for 7 and I'm a 6'3" guy
i think 120kg but it was not parallel, so for olympic lifting or powerlifting this would have been a no rep.

Isn't it a bit over 150? Reds are 25, yellow 15 each
FenomenA e Gnoccona!
She's not a woman in my opinion. Nothing feminine
Ahahah-I am sure she would find nothing manly in you 3auh. What have you accomplished in your nothing life, besides growing your huge beer gut?

3ah-So-Brings more than you do........You like men eh? That the noise you make?ahahah
Read my message again. You could try men if you don't like real women. She skies and what else ? Tell me. But it must be something interesting
