Mikaela Shiffrin came to the Beijing Olympics as one of the biggest stars of Alpine skiing – or any sport. She will leave without any individual medals after managing to finish just two of the five women’s races.
After falling, Shiffrin sat for a few moments in the snow alongside the course. When she eventually rose, she shook her head, then looked up at the hill, as though trying to figure out exactly where things went wrong.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.
But none of that sort of top-level talent or big-moment gumption was on display at the National Alpine Skiing Center in the brown, craggy mountains of Yanqing zone about 55 miles northwest of central Beijing. 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.
She is still a winner if she qualified for the Olympics. Humans are not machines and cannot perform accordingly. Best wishes.
