Mikaela Shiffrin with a solid run in the women's super-G. 'But when we got out today I just felt a little bit more settled, a little bit quieter. I just skied strong, and it's a really big relief to be here now in the finish, having skied a run well.' 'I feel emotionally weary right now, there's just a sense of dullness, and you can't have that racing, especially not racing speed,' Shiffrin told. Shiffrin, 26, a two-time Olympic alpine gold medalist, crossed the finish line on Friday with 0.79 seconds off the winner, Switzerland's Lara Gut-Behrami.Ĭonsidered one of Team USA's top medal contenders, Shiffrin had been disqualified twice for early mistakes in the giant slalom on Monday and slalom on Wednesday - events she won at the 20 Games, respectively.Īlthough she did win gold in the Super-G event at the 2019 world championship and a bronze at last year's, this was the first time Shiffrin competed in the Olympic event, and she said she had little training before the competition. US Olympic skier Mikaela Shiffrin said she felt weary but relieved to complete her first race of the 2022 Winter Games, placing ninth in the Super-G after suffering back-to-back disqualifications this week.
