It was a really bad time for Mikaela Shiffrin to have a really bad time, writes usatodaysports columnist nrarmour. But it does nothing to diminish what Shiffrin has already accomplished. Which is staggering. Beijing2022WinterOlympics
“Even without seeing the video, I know that that was really good skiing,” Shiffrin said. “Anytime I’ve ever been so sure about something like that in my entire career, it’s gone pretty well. The track record with that kind of feeling on my skis, I never DNF.
She has won three overall World Cup titles, the ultimate measure of success in skiing, and eight season titles across three different disciplines. "And it's really strange, but I'm not even afraid of that right now," she said."Maybe that's because I literally have zero emotional energy to give anymore."
But that doesn't quite square with her resume. If she were so delicate, wouldn’t she have shown it by now?Shiffrin better than anyone knows what she’s capable of, and she better than anyone knows when she doesn’t deliver. She will be unsparing in her analysis of herself, describing her performances in giant slalom and slalom as a “failure,” a word that has become almost taboo in sports.
Maybe because sports is one of the few places in life without grey areas – your success or failure is obvious, measured by the clock or the finish line – that we expect there to be an obvious answer when something doesn’t occur as expected. These Games came along during a perfect storm in Shiffrin’s life and career. Her father died unexpectedly two years ago, and the loss remains devastating.
