Mikaela Shiffrin competes in final alpine event at Beijing 2022 - Latest
Mikaela Shiffrin will be soon in action in the mixed team parallel, the last event in the alpine skiing programme at the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.
The event was delayed by a day due to the windy conditions on the 'Rainbow' course at the Yanqing National Skiing Centre. It's due to start shortly, at 09:00 local time in China (02:00 CET, 17:00 PST on Saturday).
This competition represents the American's final shot at earning a medal at these Games after she failed to do in her previous five individual races.

Shiffrin will represent Team USA along with AJ Hurt, Paula Moltzan, Tommy Ford, River Radamus, and Luke Winters (Each team may include up to six skiers).
16 teams will race in a knock-out format with four skiers - two men and two women - taking on four skiers from another nation in a parallel slalom competition.
Two competitors will ski at the same time, side by side, on two identical courses in a head-to-head race, with each winner scoring a point for the team. If the score is 2-2, the team with the best aggregate time wins.
Team USA will challenge Slovakia in Heat 6. If they go through, they will face the winner of Italy v. ROC in the 1/4 Finals
