“She did everything her way, taking care only of her things. She never wanted to get involved in anything in common, she refused to help me, but she didn’t help anyone else either, “said Vonn, 35, who ended a very successful career last year due to protracted health problems in an interview with journalist Graham Bensinger.
“I think that as a professional athlete – and especially as the ‘best in history’ – you have a responsibility to help others. You are in a role in which you can positively influence so many people, but I don’t feel that this would happen, “she added to an address Shiffrin ten years younger.

According to some media, the four-time overall World Cup winner is in the stomach of Outside magazine, which named Shiffrin the best alpine skier of all time in a poll. “The best slalom skier, without a doubt, but the media sometimes tend to generalize everything. That statement seems disrespectful to me due to my successes, “said the winner of a record 82 World Cup races.

Shiffrin has so far had 66 first places in the World Championships, which she has won three times. However, she has already won one more Olympic gold than Vonn and has many years ahead of her to attack the record act of her compatriot in the World Cup. This Saturday, when the new year of the World Cup begins in Sölden, Austria, it will not be. Shiffrin apologized for the persistent back problems.
