Mikaela is a feminine of Michael — from the Hebrew *Mikha'el*, rhetorical question meaning "Who is like God?" **Mikaela Shiffrin (born 1995)** — **American Alpine ski racer; holds the all-time World Cup record for most race victories in the history of the sport with 99 wins (men's or women's) — surpassing Ingemar Stenmark's 86-win record on March 11, 2023**. **Three-time Olympic medalist (gold 2014, gold 2018, silver 2022)**; **seven-time World Champion**; **three-time overall World Cup champion (2017-2019)**. **Her father's death in February 2020 led to her first extended retreat from competition; she returned to record-breaking form by 2022-23**. **First American skier to win five World Cup slalom titles in consecutive years**.
Subject of countless 2023-2024 sports retrospectives.
Mikaela reduces to five — the number of most ski wins ever.
