RECOGNIZING MIKAELA SHIFFRIN
(Ms. KUSTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. KUSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as co-chair of the Bipartisan
Ski and Snow Board Caucus to recognize the incredible achievements of
New Hampshire's own Mikaela Shiffrin, the most-decorated skier of all
time.
On March 11, 2023, during Women's History Month, Mikaela broke the
record for the most World Cup alpine wins by any skier, male or female,
earning 87 championship wins and securing her place in history.
Shortly after, she won another title, breaking her own record and
making history again. I love having a woman be the most decorated skier
in the world.
From her earliest days, when I met her at the Dartmouth Ski Way and
first watched her race with her late father, my friend, Jeff, Mikaela
has taken the world by storm. Her record-breaking win and dedication to
the sport will inspire women and girls across the country and around
the world.
Thank you, Mikaela, for inspiring us to be nice, think first, and
have fun.
