i've only heard super g. she's such a lock on the slalom she can't pull out. she'd never talk to her mom again. plus nbc would go crazy.Dr. NO wrote:Mom / Coach pulled Mikaela out of the SL and super G because the new schedule, after waiting 6 days to do the GS, would have her on snow too many days in a row. Mikaela will take a day or 2 off and get ready for the Down Hill and Combined next week. Hopefully the weather will quiet down and all the remaining races can be finished.

Re: Mikaela Shiffrin Fan Thread
You are correct. my reading comprehension leaves much to be desired. Reading the article on MSN it seemed she would not compete until the Down Hill race and Mom / Coach seemed to gloss over the SL. Maybe because it is almost a given for Mikaela to win.skiadikt wrote:i've only heard super g. she's such a lock on the slalom she can't pull out. she'd never talk to her mom again. plus nbc would go crazy.Dr. NO wrote:Mom / Coach pulled Mikaela out of the SL and super G because the new schedule, after waiting 6 days to do the GS, would have her on snow too many days in a row.

She puked right before the first run of the slalom which she excused to the post-run NBC interviewer as “really weird....maybe a bit of flu....not nerves.” They ski the 2nd run at around 11:35PM ET
She has nothing to lose and will go all out. You go, Mikaela!

Despite appearing sick, she skied well.
Lost all her speed in the flats.
Quarantine and rest.

Kinda weird for a skier to be wound that tight - It's only skiing after all........

“It might’ve been a little bit of me trying to make an excuse,” Shiffrin said. “Sometimes I feel the only one who can beat myself in slalom is me. I beat myself … So it’s a really big bummer. I’ll learn.”

Re: Mikaela Shiffrin Fan Thread
Will be interesting to see how she rebounds from losing the crown in her marquis event.
That must be driving her absolutely bonkers.
Now she's on a mission.

Re: Mikaela Shiffrin Fan Thread
Didn’t she lose just like she did at Killington? NBC completely over hyped her. Saw threads on this site that said she was a lock in slalom. She completely f*** her run. But apparently she lent her skis to a snowboarder who could win. The US ski team is a joke.
Re: Mikaela Shiffrin Fan Thread
Nothing is ever a 'lock' in ski racing .. especially when an Olympic medal is involved.
Massive target on Shiffrin's back. Lots of girls competing for their livelihood.
Anything can and does happen. She simply didn't defend her title.
Her compete level in the next event will speak volumes about her grit.
