Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn have emerged as two of the most recognizable faces of the 2018 U.S. Olympic team.
Shiffrin burst onto the scene during the 2014 Sochi Games when the 18-year-old became the youngest athlete in history to win the Olympic slalom event. In three events in PyeongChang, she has captured a gold medal and a silver. Vonn, widely considered the greatest female ski racer in the world, earned a gold medal in the 2010 downhill and a silver medal in the super-G before being sidelined for Sochi with an injury. This week, she captured a bronze medal in the women’s downhill — making her the oldest woman to win an Alpine medal at the Olympics — before she missed a gate in the slalom portion of the combined, ending her Olympic career without one last gold medal.
