Today is the last day for Mikaela Shiffrin to win an Olympic medal at this year’s Winter Olympics. Sadly, she has not had the best Olympic campaign this year. First, she failed in the slalom and giant slalom competitions, and then, she finished 9th and 18th in the downhill and Super-G events. However, after putting in a good training session for the downhill combined, she once again faltered in the slalom event.

The timings posted have been way off from her regular record, as she has lost a considerable amount of pace. Thus, heading into her last event, she took the blink challenge to predict the fate of her last race. And the results are truly hilarious.
Mikaela Shiffrin takes the blink challenge
With her Olympics almost done and dusted, she now moves to the latest technology to predict her future. She took up the blink challenge to test her reflexes. In the app, one must blink when the game says so. When Shiffrin showed up amongst other members of the team, she blinked as quickly as she could. But the result was symbolic of her Olympic Games- too slow. Other athletes took up this challenge and most of them were deemed too slow as well.
