America's two-time Olympic champion skier Mikaela Shiffrin is determined to change the concept of sexy. Shiffrin, 23, was recently named in the hot 100 list of an international magazine but refused to appear in a bikini or an evening gown. Instead, she chose a white ski jacket along with her 2018 Olympic medals around her neck.

"I initially thought maybe I shouldn't do this, it's not the right image," she told CNN in an interview in Soelden, Austria, ahead of this weekend's ski World Cup, where she will be bidding for her third title.
