Beijing 2022: Not Her Discipline

It has been fasinating watching Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) recover emotionally from the bitter disappointment of skiing out of her two best disciplines.  Since spending nearly a half hour sitting on the snow crying she has come back to finish 9th in the Super G and 13th in this Downhill.  Although we soon discovered that this was another training run for her final event the Women's Combined where she placed herself 5th after the downhill with the slalom (her best event) yet too come.  The best part is to see her finding joy and humor as she talks with the cameras constantly in her face.  I sure hope she gets a medal to complete her transformation in these Beijing Winter Olympics.

Beijing 2022: Skiing for Redemption

I hope Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) isn't offended by the title of this watercolor.  She had a rough start of these Olympic games.  She has skiied off course in the early seconds of both of her marquee events.  Today she tooked to the start gate of the women's Super G.  This is the first time she has ever competed in this event during the Olympics, so she may have been looking to shake out the demons and lay down a complete run in these Games.  While she posted an eighth best time at the bottom of the hill, this was more about getting back on the horse (or skis in this case) than it was about getting on to the podium.

Olympics 2018: Left Turn

Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) was laying down a brilliant run in the slalom race of the Women's Combined.  Her time was enough to put her into first place, giving her a shot at winning her second Gold Medal of these games.  It was not to be, but she did take Silver in this event.

Olympics 2018: A Perfect Run

Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) defended her medal in the Women's Giant Slalom brilliantly today.  She was the second to last of the contenders to hit the slope in Pyeong Chang and put in a flawless run.  She took gold in the first of the women's alpine events that had been delayed to do bad weather on the mountain.  Chapeau!
