Mikaela Shiffrin is an all-around alpine skier, but she’s best known for the technical events, especially slalom.

Core events she competes in

In her World Cup and championship career, Shiffrin has raced – and won – in every major alpine discipline:

  • Slalom (SL)
  • Giant slalom (GS)
  • Super-G (SG)
  • Downhill (DH)
  • Alpine combined / super combined (AC/SC)
  • Parallel / city event (a head‑to‑head slalom-style format)

She became the first alpine skier ever, male or female, to win in all six currently contested World Cup disciplines: slalom, giant slalom, downhill, super-G, combined, and parallel slalom.

What she’s best known for

  • Slalom is her signature event, where she has the majority of her World Cup wins and multiple world titles.
  • She is also an Olympic and world champion in giant slalom and has big results in super-G and combined.

In short: Shiffrin can and does race across the full range of alpine events, but she’s historically dominated the technical side – slalom first, then giant slalom – with selective appearances in the speed and combined events.

TL;DR:
Mikaela Shiffrin competes in slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill, alpine combined/super combined, and parallel events, with slalom and giant slalom as her primary, most successful disciplines.
