She is a wonderful, gracious, young woman. Her grandparents still live in our area and she came to our school to talk to our kids. Just a great role model all the way around!!!

[howardroth]

Mikaela has an infectious personality, a great sense of humor and she can ski to boot. She seems quite grounded for being the best in the world. A good role model.

[rocco...]

She is so underrated in her country. Probably because she is so nice and classy.

[TyLockton]

He kind of mentioned it, but she shattered the total World Cup wins in a single season record this season. Barring injury or an early retirement, she's on pace to shatter some very long-held records, a once in a lifetime talent.

[requinproductions]

She is really nice...we went to watch her ski here in the Czech Republic a few weeks ago, and it was a Pro-Petra Vlhova crowd (her friendly rival from Slovakia)..and she won the crowd over easily with her charm and humbleness, and then, despite the rain, snow and being exhausted, we watched her sign autographs for what seemed like 30 minutes...a real classy girl :)

[ondrej]

A role model. Her humility, sense of humour and inquisitive nature are very rare. She always has something good to say about countries she races in and the people as well.

[YanoshDanosh]

Her giving jimmy a gift was very heartwarming to watch

[philconnors]

It’s ridiculous. She’s cool, humble, fun, nice, natural and the best in the world at what she does.

[MRTatsaa]

She is gonna break all the records. What a beast 💪

[EjEmSi]

What makes her stand out are not the records she already broke but the kind of person she is. She is humble, intelligent, genuine, funny and just an overall nice person. That plus the succes she has is absolutely unbelievable taking into consideration she is only 24 years old. I was starstuck when I met her 3 years ago, I have to say I fell in love with her personality and the way she treats people. Mikaela deserves the world!

[remygarrison]

She lost her dad a while back which was really hard for her, but she is the definition of personality and athleticism.

[clarie]

EVERYONE LOVES HER IN AUSTRIA 🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹❤❤❤❤

[ericyankovich]

I have worked in the ski & snowboard industry for decades, & she is by far my favorite personality! Talented, humble & soooo funny!

[skierpage]

5:45 "the most talented skier on the planet." This. To be that consistent and to win in multiple disciplines is incredible. Sportsperson of the decade!

[westyw.]

Her comeback after her injury is even more amazing!!! Love her.

[ScottyColoradoKid]

She is from Steamboat Springs, and Lindsey Vonn is from Vail; I cant even tell you guys how proud we are of these two; but Mikaela is really something; she is still fighting to come back to #1 again after her Dad died quite suddenly; they were REALLY close...watch the footage of her collapsing in tears on her first win since his death...I just love this woman so much. She really is The Colorado Kid....

[maxg]

I‘ve so much respect for her.
I‘m from germany and normaly simpithy more with the austrian skiers but I have to say, that for me she is already the greatest female skier of all time.
And how she came back this season is absolutely incredible and so good to see. I hope she‘ll have fun riding her skis again and come back even stronger than ever before next season.

[TG-Maverick]

Jimmy is such a good sport, he always elevates his guests.

[mostguitarswins]

This was a lot of fun. Jimmy puts his guests at ease and brings the funny out of them 👏👏👏👏
