Mikaela Shiffrin was disqualified from her second race after skidding out of control about five seconds into her slalom run. Her head bowed, the Olympic champion sat on the track for several minutes.
Mikaela Shiffrin, of the United States sits on the side of the course after skiing out in the first run of the women's slalom at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2022, in the Yanqing district of Beijing.
Soon, a member of the U.S. team staff plopped down next to Shiffrin and put his arm around her shoulders. So far, though, Shiffrin is 0 for 2, unable even to complete a substantial portion of the first leg of either of her first two events. Both the slalom and giant slalom are specialties of hers, technical races that combine the times of two runs, and she already owns an Olympic gold from each.
