Out of the four events that Mikaela Shiffrin took part in, she crashed out in two and finished way below the podium in the others. However, there is one more event left for her. The combined competition offers her a final chance of winning a medal at the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022. The disappointment of not retaining her medals is there, but the combined event is a chance to redeem some supremacy.

Mikaela spoke to NBC after the downhill race. The downhill competition saw her putting in a good run in training, but she could not muster up a brilliant performance. Hence, Shiffrin now hopes to get back to winning ways in the combined competition.

Mikaela Shiffrin thinks she has a shot

When speaking to the reporter after the race, she looked much more relaxed and at ease. Notably, her pre-Olympics training sessions were not up to the mark according to her and that is being seen in Beijing. Hence, it would be important for her to regain her focus and go full throttle for the combined event. Shiffrin spoke about the existent tough competition but how she believes herself to have a good shot at the podium now.

“I mean, we’ll see. There is a couple of women who have a really good shot for strong downhill runs and also really strong slalom runs. I don’t feel that anything is guaranteed. Not at all, especially not for, after the last couple of weeks, but, I think I have a shot and that’s really nice. So I will go for it and we will see,” said Shiffrin.

Well, the Olympics is not done yet. And arguably, the combined, even though tough, is a good chance for her to win an Olympic medal. Not to forget, the 2021 World Championships saw her dominate this event.
