She didn't have two different surgeries on both knees. She had two surgeries on the same knee in 2013. First one was an ACL, MCL, Tibial plateau fracture at World Championships in Shladming, Austria. Next time was ACL, MCL and meniscus tear on Copper Mountain. She had 40% of her ACL left, kept trying to ski and she had to stop in the middle of a race because her knee wasn't holding up. Fact check people.
She's a slalom expert not a Downhiller & she is great but she won't come close to breaking Lindsey's overall records for a long while. Just think she as Lindsey are Democrats with the same feelings towards Trump so you should bad mouth her as well . We should keep ski racing separate from politics & freedom of speech.
@@paullevine1813 Im with you about keeping politics out of sports. With that said , Mikaela Shiffrin is the first and only athlete - male or female - with wins in all six FIS Alpine Ski World Cup disciplines. Mikeala doesnt need to win the speed events, she just needs to place in the top 5 and even top ten to destroy her competition for world cup title. She is the chosen one.
Record or not NOTHING! Lindsey is forever one of the greatest champions sport PERIOD has ever had. If you want to really know, DH racers can be most compared to American football players because you never know when the 800lb gorilla is gonna smash you and sometimes you have NO control. The pure level of complexity in racing at that speed with no protection really at all and flying 50+ meters off huge jumps, landing at an oblique angle, sometimes off camber(!) the toughness she has is legendary.
@@samsonian Hey remember these are Trolls who follow all of Lindsey's vids so they can spew out their hatred all because she answered a silly question with the truth. When Donald called the White House a dump was that not the same thing as being called a traitor to the country? Lindsey deserves her victory's & is far from washed up. All ski racers get hurt & it's when they come back & not just give up is when you call them champions worthy of their accomplishments. What this guy is saying is like saying well Mario Andretti is no longer a champ or the racer he has always been just because he's retired & he retired well beyond his prime. Records are meant to be broken & even if Mikeala were to pass her it is a matter of time before someone breaks her records. As Mario is a legend in his sport Lindsey will always be in hers. All these guys are only here to harass & demeanor those they could never out do themselves. I am pretty sure if Mikaela were asked the same lame question Lindsey did she would give the same answer. Makes me wonder who's side of the sport these wanna be's are on . They are on the USA team & they all respect each other as racers.
@@paullevine1813 Paul. Mikeala is winning. She beat Vonn in downhill last season. She just won another SG. You are the biggest babies and losers not to give her the credit. Vonn a has been. Now go back into you basement.

To discount all that simply because she doesn't support Trump, oof Americans are real bread of 'special'.
@@robbiesharp311 I love when Americans who had a tiny bit of a 'red scare' but didn't actually had to live through what communism is think they know everything.

The political spectrum of the US is shifted so much to the right that some of Europe's most right wing parties have a more 'leftist' stance on some of topics than your most leftist politicians. And you didn't even have to endure the tragic and terror of stalinism and earlier bolshevism, later on the struggles of living under communists. I find it so disrespectful (and so do my grandparents) that you are referring to someone you don't agree with politically as a 'communist' when she is pretty fcking far from it. But i guess these are the so famous American 'brainworms' in action. PS Even if she was one it wouldn't discount her athletic achievements. PS 2 In the recent months it's been pretty apparent Mikaela Shiffrin has very similar political stances to Vonn, or at least is anti-Trump. Is she a 'commie' too?
Here in Europe we have no idea why 'diva' Vonn is considered to be 'one of the best skiers ever'. She participated in four Olympics and won just one gold en three bronze! There are numerous other skiers who won far more than her, especially on the Olympics. This clip of all her 'setbacks' as if no other skier ever has a setback. But yeah: she is American right and has 'the looks'. That is something athletes of other countries don't have...
@@BlueInOrangeAgain We can understand why she is one of if not the greatest ever. On behalf of Europeans, we don't agree with that guys comment. He is probably gonna disregard her athletic achievements as many people in the comments simply because Vonn has been critical of Trump and apparently you cannot have a different political views to theirs (what a load of ballocks and pathetic excuse to hate on someone, especially as great as Vonn). If he ain't one of the Trumpists he might actually look at her World Cup stats: - 20 season titles (4 overall, 8 downhill, 5 super-G, 3 combined) - 82 wins - (43 DH, 28 SG, 4 GS, 2 SL, 5 SC) - 137 podiums, 213 top tens. These speak for themselves (unless you are slightly bit 'special' and discount it all on the basis someone has a different political standpoint to yours).
When was the last time she won anything? When the 2015 ski championships came here to Vail, it was like the Lindsey show. Hometown girl, most wins ever for a female. And then she totally flopped. She won a bronze in Super-G, and didn't even podium in anything else. Same thing with our most recent Olympics. Bronze in downhill and that was it for the whole games.
You misunderstand. I'm referring to your ignorant, poisonous, trash talking. I figured it was something like your politics that the warped your view of a true champion. Thanks for confirming that. I don't know, nor do I care what the context of her comment about representing her country (as every Olympian does) rather the president. She didn't "try to make the Olympics all political". What a dumbass statement coming out of your toxic world view.
@@v12tommy I remember her saying she is racing for the USA in response to an interview question about "racing for Trump." That's hardly making the Olympics political. She was correcting an interviewer who was making it political.
@@surfpsych To quote the Washington Post: When asked by CNN’s Christina Macfarlane if she would accept an invitation to the White House should she win an Olympic medal, Vonn replied: “Absolutely not. Nope. But I have to win to be invited, so - no, actually, I think every U.S. team member is invited. So, no, I won’t go.”
So funny how it is so overlooked on the "behalf" of women that from the USSA level on up, the men rise through a competitive field twice as wide and five times deeper than the women. Based on the participation numbers alone, the men have a much tougher field of competition than do the women all the way from U12 to the top spot on the WC. Therefore, there is absolutely no comparing the number of women's wins to the mens to ascertain the level of competitive dominance. A female competitor would have to achieve up to four times as many WC wins to equal the competitive significance of Stenmark. Same goes for Shiffrin. As per usual, it is no wonder that women hate math.
What about as an athlete? Their athletic feats are still amazing and you have to be a stuck asshat to make a comment like yours about what should be about the athletic performance only, regardless of gender. With their drive, performance, work ethic and strength, they would still make it big in a male's body in the men's field. Also, that last line...oof, no wonder you hate women, you must have a microdong and some other complexes that are showing through.
Literally the first episode of that series, the one before that was entirely about men. As far as I am aware, the episode would be rotating between showing male and female competitors.
@@cdawg9149 Hello?? Shiffrin has 1 victorie in DH and until and few days ago 0 Victories in SG. I you look at the last 5 - 4 yrs many of the great stars in DH & SG have finished their careers. This season both Ilka Štuhec and Sofia Goggia have been injured and are probaly not competitive. LV is a great skier but there could be some more skiers in her league..
@@AtomicLT11 Lets not forget that Mikeala is 23 years old. Lindsay is 34 - 35? . Lindsay can only catch Ingmars record in super G and downhill.Thats not an easy thing to do with her injuries that have piled up Mikeala can win in all disiplines. So she has a much greater chance. Lindsay has no chance in SL or GS. ..Ingmar only skiied SL and GS . My point is even if, and thats a big if, Lindsay does break Ingmars record, Mikeala will probably annihilate Ingmars and Lindsays record in her career , if she can stay relatively injury free and keep the momentum she has been carrying the past 3 seasons. Did we forget Mikeala has 46 world cup victories at 23 years old? With one downhill victory and a silver medal in the combined, Feb 2018..Granted Lindsay has 82, but Lindsay is the granny of the world cup circuit. The oldest woman on the circuit. Soon her only sponsors will be granny panties and Depends. Lindsay is still one of the best atheletes ever to ski race. That cant be denied.
@@001Broadway Speed disciplines. You mean downhill and super G. What a doofuss. Mikeala destroying the field. Simpla asthat. Now go back to mommies basement.

Many of Vonn's wins have come in Super G. That discipline didn't exist during Stenmark's career. All his victories were in the technical events. I would question the validity of Vonn's achievement if she does overtake him.
Sure, but then one could argue that he never faced her level of competition. In his day, he had a couple of true competitors, he really only had 1 or 2 guys to beat, the rest were fighting for second and third. In today's era, both in mens and womens, there are 50 strong, fit, experienced competitors breathing down your neck.
