FILE - United States' Mikaela Shiffrin speeds down the course on her way to win an alpine ski, women's World Cup giant slalom, her 84th World Cup race, in Kronplatz, Italy, Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023. Shiffrin isn't putting the same pressure on herself for the upcoming world championships, starting on on Feb. 6, 2023 in Courchevel and Meribel, France, that she did for last year's Beijing Olympics. The event is Shiffrin's first major championship since American skier didn't win a medal and didn't finish three of her five races at the Olympics. (AP Photo/Alessandro Trovati, File)
