Mikael Shiffrin top ten in Are World Cup Slalom

Mikaela Shiffrin (age 16):
"I'm really excited about racing in Schladming. It feels goodt to be top 25 in the world, but honestly, I've been dreaming about winning World Cup races since I was five years old.
Sometimes it feels like, 'man, it's about time' and I have to take a step back and realize that some of these girls have been the fastest skiers in the world for ten years, so I need to fight every single run. It's hard but it's also really exciting.
I'm happy becuase I broke the trend I've had going of not making second runs and that it was one more top 10. I was only .39 out of first, so it was a really close race and I know that I have some faster skiing in me.+
