Little Mikaela Shiffrin has been on skis pretty much since she could walk. She got to meet an idol of hers at a poster signing event. Heidi Voelker autographed her poster, “Dream big, Mikaela, and always be faster than the boys.” Wow!
In Sochi, Mikaela earned a Gold Medal in Slalom 20 days shy of her 19th birthday making her the youngest to ever do so.
This ad from NBC Olympics Best of US series shows that story and how Mikaela always lives it. Set to the tune "Johnny Be Good" by the late Chuck Berry and is now on YouTube so you don't have to leave this page to watch.
Go Mikaela, Go win us some more gold!
