Mikaela Shiffrin scores rare downhill win to extend World Cup lead

She had only raced downhill three times before this season, including at the Olympics. Her best race before Wednesday's win was 18th place.

Look at how genuine she looked at him when they kissed. I think she's waited her entire life for that feeling.

Pure awesomeness!! Wow!!

Her career is going downhill. In her case it means it is getting better. I doubt there are many skiers with wins in Slalom, Giant Slalom and downhill.

Mikaela is the first and only skier, male or female, to win gold in all 6 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup disciplines. That's gold wins in slalom, parallel slalom, giant slalom, super G, downhill and alpine combined. If this is not considered the GOAT yet, she will be.

9NEWS video title sucks.
Mikeala's World Cup Downhill career stats are 16 starts, 6 podiums which includes 3 victories.
9NEWS should own up to their fake news or forever suffer the loss.
