@cbsmornings: Mikaela Shiffrin says her third Olympic gold medal "does feel different." The U.S. skiing star broke her medal drought at the Winter Games in Italy, taking home the gold in the women's slalom. She reflected on her Olympic journey, the challenges she's faced and grieving after the loss of her father in 2020: "It's been a journey just to get to the moment where I could take this race day and say, I do want this moment. I want to execute the skiing. And I also want him there." #mikaelashiffrin #skiing #olympics #winterolympics #milanocortina2026
Kudos to the interviewer here for his thoughtful questions and his gentle ways of coaxing revealing answers.

She’s a amazing person as well as athlete. She’s point on to about the pressure we put on them and criticism but shouldn’t ever happen half the people that criticize her couldn’t even put a pair of skis on. Just be happy for her no matter what.

It’s ok to experience joy, triumph, happiness even though the ones we really wish to experience it with are no longer with us. I’m nowhere near her level of athleticism, fame etc but I smile and thank my mom and dad for their part in making me the person I am today, thanking them that I can still enjoy life in their absence.

As someone who is a competitive athlete. My dad died and my competitiveness felt weird and wrong. I haven’t been my best and I’ve heard nothing but negative comments. Thank you for saying all of this. It’s everything I’m feeling but can’t put words to.
