About this listen

In this bonus episode of The Drink podcast, NBC News Anchor Kate Snow talks with skier Mikaela Shiffrin, who won gold in slalom at the Milan Cortina Olympics.

Recorded in 2025, Shiffrin reflects on the defining moments of her life—from learning to ski, to the thrill of more than 100 World Cup wins, to the heartbreak of Olympic disappointments, and finding a way to keep going. She also opens up about her PTSD diagnosis and how she hopes to bring greater attention to mental health.

The Drink is Kate Snow’s interview series featuring candid conversations with actors, authors, athletes and visionaries—all over a beverage of their choice. Watch every episode of The Drink now at NBCNEWS.COM/THEDRINK.
