Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin recently commented on a carousel of photos provided by former American Olympic sprinter Allyson Felix, which featured her skiing trip. Felix was spotted enjoying a variety of activities alongside her friends and family.

Felix was photographed attending an event hosted by Rao’s Gridiron Club, where she was dressed in a grey stylish formal suit. The former athlete elegantly complemented the ensemble with white heels. She also uploaded a photo of her five-year-old daughter Camryn Grace while attending a “Show and Tell” session at what appeared to be her school.

She even posted a photo from a photoshoot for her footwear business Saysh, in which her brother Wes Felix was standing with the shoes. The 39-year-old also spent time with her two children, Camryn and Trey, and her husband, Kenneth Ferguson. Along with a photo of a delicious lunch, she also uploaded a photo of herself dressed in ski gear, ready to slide down the mountain near Corey Fest.

“Heavy on the multitasking πŸ‘ΆπŸ½πŸ“ŠπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ,” Felix remarked while uploading the photographs.

“I’m not hurting anyone” – Lindsey Vonn conveys her perspective on her return

Lindsey Vonn returned to the sport nearly six years after overcoming a series of injuries and undergoing successful knee replacement surgery. However, her reappearance was received with criticism, to which Vonn responded by declaring that she was not causing any damage to anyone.

In an interview with BBC.com, Vonn expressed her perspective, saying:

“I’m not sure why my comeback was such an issue. I am not causing anyone harm by what I am doing. I believe my response was rather obvious last weekend. There was one public apology on a podcast. But my phone did not ring, and I refuse to take anything less than a phone call since what they stated about me is completely inappropriate and rude.”

Lindsey Von was last seen racing in the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Women’s Downhill on February 28, 2025, in Kvitfjell, Norway, finishing in 16th position.

Stifel honours Mikaela Shiffrin’s historic 100th win by donating to her β€œMIK100” initiative

Mikaela Shiffrin won her 100th World Cup slalom at Sestriere, Italy, marking a significant milestone in her impressive career. Stifel (NYSE: SF), the official naming partner of the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team, donated $10,000 to Shiffrin’s ‘MIK100: Reset the Sport’ project, which supports kids learn-to-ski programs through the Share Winter Foundation.

The victory came after Shiffrin returned after an almost two-month hiatus due to an abdominal injury suffered at the Stifel Killington Cup. She won by 0.61 seconds against Croatia’s Zrinka Ljutic, with colleague Paula Moltzan placing third.

Stifel will commemorate the milestone with a new national television commercial, web marketing, and print advertising. The World Cup season concludes with the Stifel Sun Valley Finals in Idaho on March 22-27, following events in Norway, Sweden, and Italy.

St. Louis, February 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Stifel (NYSE: SF), the official team naming partner of the Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team, celebrates Mikaela Shiffrin’s 100th career World Cup victory in slalom in Sestriere, Italy. Stifel supports her efforts to raise $100,000 for the Share Winter Foundation.

Shiffrin surpassed the all-time record for World Cup wins (86) in March 2023 and proceeded to build on it until her historic 100th win on Sunday in Italy. This season, she won 98 and 99 in late autumn before suffering an abdominal injury at the Stifel Killington Cup in Vermont, which sidelined her for over two months.

With a lead of only 0.09 seconds after the first run, she achieved her 100th victory. But a clean and comfortable second run allowed Shiffrin to win by.61 seconds over Croatia’s Zrinka Ljutic, with Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski teammate Paula Moltzan finishing third.

Stifel will donate $10,000 to Shiffrin’s “MIK100: Reset the Sport” project, which supports youth learn-to-ski programs in cooperation with the Share Winter Foundation.

“Mikaela continues to raise the bar and set new standards, not just in skiing, but in the history of sport,” said Stifel Chairman and CEO Ronald J. Kruszewski, who was in Killington when Shiffrin previously aimed for the 100. “To see her win number 100 after coming back from injury with courage and dedication this winter is incredible to behold. And Mikaela’s decision to utilise the milestone to collect funds for learn-to-ski projects through the Share Winter Foundation reflects who she is as a person and athlete, eager to share the enthusiasm and access to skiing to more people.”

Stifel designed a nationwide broadcast advertisement to celebrate Shiffrin’s success, showing her exceptional talent and humility. There are also online digital and social executions, with Stifel print advertising commemorating Shiffrin slated to run in select markets over the next several weeks as the World Cup circuit returns to North America in late March. The creative creation was executed by Known, Stifel’s agency for the Stifel U.S. Ski Team relationship.

“We are proud of our multiyear association with such an amazing athlete and global ambassador,” Kruszewski told reporters. “Mikaela has changed the game and is building a legacy that goes beyond her results as she looks for ways to use this platform of 100 wins and create opportunities for others to engage in the sport.”

Shiffrin and the rest of the women’s Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team will compete in events in Norway, Sweden, and Italy before returning to the United States for the Stifel Sun Valley Finals in Sun Valley, Idaho, March 22-27, to complete this season’s World Cup program.
