Mikaela Shiffrin fails to finish in combined event, no individual medals in Beijing
Shiffrin’s latest subpar performance came in the second leg of the combined, which adds the times from one downhill run and one slalom run.
Trouble came after about 10 gates and 10 seconds. She lost her balance, could not regain it, and ended up landing on her hip. That was among several things she mentioned in discussing factors that could have contributed to what went wrong along the way over the past 1 1/2 weeks: the logistical challenges of an Olympics amid a pandemic; a late-December bout of COVID-19 that kept her off her skis for 10 days; icy, manufactured snow that several racers found different from what they’re used to in Europe.
Afterward, Shiffrin said she could imagine people back home thinking before the slalom portion of the combined: “This could just be the medal that salvages everything, after all.”It was as hard for her to believe as for anyone else.
