                      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.
