American Mikaela Shiffrin makes another quick exit in the Olympics Alpine skiing competition in Beijing.
Mikaela Shiffrin sits on the side of the course Wednesday after skiing out in the first run of the women's slalom at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. BEIJING — The first question posed to Mikaela Shiffrin as she met with reporters after her second consecutive quick exit from an Alpine skiing race at the Beijing Games was short, simple and to the point: What happened?
She began losing her balance and teetering out of control just four seconds and four gates in, swerving too far as she veered to her right. The neon yellow handle of her right ski pole scraped along the snow as she ended up way wide of the fifth gate. Other racers said the top was not particularly slippery or difficult. Indeed, reigning slalom world champion Katharina Liensberger of Austria — who took the silver behind Wednesday’s gold medalist Petra Vlhova of Slovakia — called it “a really easy course.”
