Mikaela Shiffrin
Skier Mikaela Shiffrin brought home three Olympic medals after competing in both the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi and the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang. Both of these competitions took place in Russia. Shiffrin has rapidly become a fan favourite thanks to the infectious grin that she always wears. This is largely due to the fact that she competes in winter sports.
However, Shiffrin disproves this notion, showing that she has her own legacy to leave behind her in the world of snowboarding. Some people may see Shiffrin as a precursor to Lindsey Vonn, but Shiffrin demonstrates that this is not the case. With 15 victories under her belt at the World Cup as of March 2019, it is safe to say that Shiffrin has potential that has not yet been fully realised.
