Sport: USA
Country: Alpine skiing
Mikaela Shiffrin's seriously impressive résumé already includes two Olympic Games and three medals (two gold, one silver). Since Pyeongchang, her star has only continued to rise in the world of alpine skiing: Shiffrin broke the record for most world cup slalom wins in 2019 and, in 2021, tied the record for most world cup wins in a single discipline (again, slalom — she has 46!). If she can take home three medals at the 2022 Olympics, Shiffrin has the opportunity to become the most decorated American alpine skier in history; Bode Miller currently holds that title with six Olympic medals. Of course, it's not like Shiffrin, who won her first Olympic medal at age 18, really has much more to prove.
