Beijing 2022: More DNF disappointment for US star Mikaela Shiffrin
Mikaela Shiffrin insists that it was not the weight of expectations that led to her failing to finish her third race at the Winter Olympics. The American was a strong favourite to win gold in the combined event and was well placed after finishing fifth fastest in the morning's downhill leg. But returning to the Ice River course, where she had skied out in both the giant slalom and slalom, her favourite events, Shiffrin missed a gate and skied out yet again.
