It was a bittersweet end to the 2016 World Cup season last March for Olympic champion alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin. While she won all five World Cup slalom races she started, a midseason break to nurse an injured knee left her short of the points needed to keep her world champion crown.But with a two-second lead (on average) in every race, its clear the 21-year-old is still top-of-the podium material. Shell start the 2017 World Cup season this weekend in Levi, Finland, with eyes on regaining her 2015 world championship title.One secret to Shiffrins success? A playlist that keeps her motivated and focused in training and competition alike. Before races, I normally find someplace quiet, close my eyes for 15 minutes and disappear in my music, Shiffrin says. I think about dancing or making turns on a never-ending ski run to the beat.Shiffrin shared her prerace playlist with us: Get more athlete playlists. Tytus Howard Womens Jersey .
