Intro:

Record-breaking American slalom gold medallist Mikaela Shiffrin dreaming of more Olympic success, as she reflects on her Sochi success story on Saturday (22nd February).

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mikaela Shiffrin, Sochi Olympic women's slalom gold medallist (on her thoughts after winning):
"When I saw I had won the gold medal and I had the green light, I mostly just didn't want to stop. I kept kind of skiing around the finish arena and I just didn't want to stop. I wanted to keep my skis moving as long as I could because it just felt so good to just ski down the mountain like that and really feel free. Free to make mistakes and free to recover from them. That was probably the biggest thing I was thinking at that moment, was yes, I won the gold, but don't stop."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mikaela Shiffrin, Sochi Olympic women's slalom gold medallist (on making sure she got her make-up right when she won the gold):
"I remember watching Vancouver and watching Lindsey (Vonn) win her gold medal. I was watching it with one of my friends and her mom said me 'Mikaela, you have to remember one thing when you go to the Olympics and you win a medal...waterproof mascara.' (laughs) I was like, ok, but that's really far away. But here I am and I was thinking about and I can't even believe it. I didn't even wear mascara yesterday, thank goodness. But I was like either waterproof or not mascara because if I start crying I do not want to look like a witch."
