The Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup has put forth a spectacle for skiing lovers since it kickstarted on October 28. However, the 6th leg of the Women’s tour ended on a displeasing note. Much to Mikaela Shiffrin’s dismay, the Women’s Super G race got canceled due to bad weather.

However, the 28-year-old stood unfazed and expressed her gratitude towards the people who have their all to make the track feasible. “Canceled…thank you to the volunteers and workers for all your efforts this weekend!”, Shiffrin wrote in a Twitter post. Although she looked distraught, much like her fans, the Olympic Champion didn’t forget to acknowledge the tireless efforts of the volunteers.

The winningest skier of all time looked to further bolster her record, and avenge her previous defeat, at the Women’s Super G on Sunday. In the first Super G on Friday, Italian skiing specialist Sofia Goggia overtook Shiffrin to claim the top spot. However, the alpine skiing GOAT soon avenged her loss, clinching her 91st World Cup victory in the process.
