Anytime a young athlete crushes beyond the expectations of any fan or pro analyst, it becomes a big deal that most can't describe. Mikaela Shiffrin's career has been that that and more.

For the last eight seasons that she has been competing in the Audi FIS World Cup, she has stunned everyone watching. I've seen her ski live and I can say it's nothing like I have ever seen. Truly showing there is a difference between talent and know how, she flies down mountains, almost effortlessly. At least, that how it looks from the bottom.

As she meets this newest milestone, we congratulate her and wish her continued success in this coming year's competition circuit and for a continued great career.
