The long-standing debate over who is the greatest female alpine skier of all time—Mikaela Shiffrin or Lindsey Vonn—just took an unexpected turn after a leading sports analyst delivered a bold prediction that could settle the argument once and for all.
Renowned ski analyst and former World Cup coach, David Langston, shook the skiing world with his latest take on the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) debate. According to Langston, Mikaela Shiffrin is on an unstoppable trajectory to surpass Lindsey Vonn in every aspect of the sport, ultimately cementing her legacy as the undisputed greatest skier in history.
“Shiffrin has already eclipsed Vonn’s all-time World Cup wins record, but what truly sets her apart is her sustained dominance across multiple disciplines,” Langston stated in an exclusive interview. “Vonn was a powerhouse in speed events, but Shiffrin’s ability to consistently win in slalom, giant slalom, and even downhill proves she’s the most complete skier we’ve ever seen.”
While Vonn retired in 2019 with 82 World Cup victories and four overall World Cup titles, Shiffrin shattered the all-time wins record in 2023 and continues to add to her tally. At just 29 years old, Shiffrin still has several competitive seasons ahead, leaving many to speculate that her records could become nearly untouchable.
However, Vonn’s supporters argue that her dominance in speed events, her Olympic and World Championship success, and her resilience through injuries make her the GOAT in terms of impact and influence on the sport.
Langston, however, sees it differently: “In the end, the GOAT isn’t just about records—it’s about sustained excellence. By the time Shiffrin retires, there will be no more debate.”
With Shiffrin still in peak form and aiming for more titles, the skiing world will be watching closely to see if Langston’s prediction holds true.
