Mikaela Shiffrin named to TIME's list of 100 most influential people in the world

TIME, one of the world's most important magazines based in New York City,  named Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) to the 2023 TIME100, its annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. The full list and related tributes appear in the April 24 issue of TIME and now at time.com/time100.

This prestigious list of individuals recognizes those who have made a significant impact and inspired others around the world through their craft. The recognition reflects Shiffrin's hard work, dedication and achievements in the sport of alpine skiing and highlights her impact beyond skiing. Other notable people in this year's Time 100 list include President Joe Biden, soccer star Lionel Messi, Beyoncé, tennis player and friend of Mikaela Shiffrin Iga Swiatek, King Charles and many more.

This season, Shiffrin became the most decorated alpine skier of all time, surpassing the women's record of 82 wins held by former teammate Lindsey Vonn before passing Swedish skier Ingemar Stenmark's record of 86 World Cup victories, a record set 34 years ago.

"I can’t even put into words what an honor it is to be a part of TIME’s list of 100 Most Influential People," shared Shiffrin on Instagram. "But I’d be remiss to not acknowledge everyone around me who has made this possible. This sport takes us across the world, competing in many different time zones with a lot of gear as we chase snow and deal with the ever-changing variables of weather, travel, winter conditions and beyond…my support team is the only way I’d be able to do this at all, let alone getting to the top step of the World Cup podium 88 times. These achievements really would never have been possible without my family, team, sponsors, and all of the fans of the sport of alpine ski racing. So, this honor is as much yours as it is my own…and I’ll celebrate you all."

Now in its twentieth year, the list recognizes the impact, innovation and achievement of the world’s most influential individuals and we are proud to have Mikaela Shiffrin as part of it.
