I certainly am not trying to take away anything from Shiffrins accomplishments. She’s obviously a phenomenal skier and deserves the recognition and title of “GOAT” But Vonn was primarily a downhill skier and suffered several high speed crashes. And numerous setbacks due to injuries. Both are exceptional skiers but I feel in different categories. You can’t compare a mogul expert to a aerial specialist although both are technically skiers. I’m certainly pulling for Shiffrin to take the title.

You are clearly unaware of Lindsey's early-career successes in the tech events. Shiffrin still hasn't transitioned to racing mostly speed events like many ski racers do when they are later in their careers.
