After Breezy Johnson had brilliantly set her up for gold for the US by winning the downward foot, Mikaela Shiffrin extended her Olympic fall by placing fourth in the new staff combined celebration at the Milan-Cortina Games.
With a history 108 victories, including a record-setting 71 in the racing, Shiffrin today has won seven consecutive Olympic races without a medal, making him the most successful World Cup racer in history.
After Tuesday’s race was over, Shiffrin said,” I didn’t really get a satisfaction level that allows me to make full rate.”
” So I’m going to have to learn what to do and adapt to in the short amount of time before the other software ethnicities.”
I want to be careful not to create mistakes because it’s not really an excuse. I’ve been thus prepared for every slalom this time. So there is still something to learn from this very moment. And I’m going to pick it up.
After winning two bronzes and two silvers at her first two Games, Shiffrin failed to award in any of her six Beijing Games competitions four years ago.
After the first part, her childhood friend, the newly-crowned personal downward hero Johnson, gave her a 0.06sec lead, and Shiffrin was told over group radio that “you got it.” No tricks here at all.
However, Shiffrin was unable to finish in front of the leaders at each station, falling 0.31 seconds behind the other American group, which included Paula Moltzan and Jaqueline Wiles, who won bronze.
Surprisingly, Shiffrin had just finished 15th overall in the racing calf.
Ariane Raedler and Katharina Huber of Austria, who won the gold medal, were forward of Germans Emma Aicher and Kira Weidle-Winkelmann, who won gold.
I now have my gold award, Johnson had said following her downward run. I sincerely hope she enjoys herself and exerts her best efforts. But if something happens, I won’t be like,” Oh, you ruined something.” “
Shiffrin is also working on her personal huge slalom and slalom events, but the ongoing Olympic struggles must worry her.
She has narrowed her target for the Milan-Cortina Games and is competing in just three occurrences. Her best individual effect was ninth in super-G in Beijing.
