The double-Olympic champion skied out in the Alpine combined and once again was unable to finish a race at the Beijing Games.
It was quite similar to what happened in each of her first two events in China: the giant slalom on Feb. 7, and the slalom on Feb. 9. She didn’t finish those, either, which was particularly stunning because they are her best events and because she is lauded by other skiers, past and present, for her technique and ability to complete the courses.
Shiffrin claimed gold in the slalom at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and the giant slalom at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games. In addition to ending up with “Did Not Finish” next to her name on three results sheets, she was ninth in the super-G last Friday, then 18th in the downhill on Tuesday.Shiffrin has said she plans to appear in a sixth race on Saturday, when the Alpine schedule concludes with a team event that was added to the Olympics four years ago.
