U.S. women’s skier Mikaela Shiffrin will compete in the super-G event on Friday at the 2022 Winter Olympics after failing to finish in the giant slalom and slalom events.
. Following her early exit in the slalom, Shiffrin sat in the snow to the side of the course dejected as competition continued. After several minutes by herself, a Team USA member arrived to console her.
“I think I just slipped,” Shiffrin said. “I mean, I had every intention to go full gas, and there wasn’t really space in the course to, I don’t know, to slip even, not even a little. I didn’t give myself space for that. In my experience, that mentality has brought my best skiing. Today I went out on the fifth gate.
"Makes me second-guess, like, the last 15 years, everything I thought I knew about my own skiing, and slalom, and racing mentality. Just processing a lot for sure." Shiffrin, who took two training runs on the super-G course Thursday, won the super-G at the 2019 World Championship but has never competed in the event at the Olympics.Download our local news and weather app for
