Mikaela Shiffrin, the renowned American alpine skier, recently shared some humorous skiing advice with Mark Zuckerberg. When Zuckerberg asked for tips on Threads, Shiffrin replied, “Words of wisdom: if you french fry when you’re supposed to pizza, you’re gonna have a bad time!” She also added, “Just have fun!”
For those who might not be familiar with skiing terminology, “french fry” and “pizza” refer to two different skiing positions. “French fry” means keeping your skis parallel to each other, while “pizza” means pointing your skis inward to form a wedge shape, which helps with turning and stopping.
Shiffrin’s advice is not only comical but also practical, emphasizing the importance of having fun while skiing. As a world-class skier, Shiffrin has won numerous awards, including 100 World Cup victories, and is considered one of the greatest alpine skiers of all time.
