Mikaela Shiffrin plans to race four individual events at the world Alpine skiing championships that start Monday, making it the busiest worlds of her career.
Shiffrin said Tuesday that she eyes the combined on Monday, super-G next Tuesday and the giant slalom (Feb. 18) and slalom (Feb. 20) in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy (full NBC Sports TV schedule here).
Shiffrin, who won the last four slalom world titles, has never raced more than three events at a single Olympics or world championships.
She always races the slalom and GS and started adding speed events in recent years — the combined at the 2018 Olympics and the super-G at the 2019 Worlds, which she won in a what she called a surprise.
