KRANJSKA GORA – The slalom performance of the former American world champion and Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin in Kranjska Gora ended with great disappointment. The star American recorder did not reach the finish line of the second round in the slalom competition for the first time in four years.

Shiffrin lost only 0.25 seconds to leader Holdener after the first race, despite several mistakes at the top, so she was very close to triumph before the second lap. In her second run, she attacked, skied aggressively and cleanly with split times that could get her to the top, but she stood at the goal and about 15 goals before the finish, she was eliminated by an unpopular spitz.

Like twisting a knife stuck in your heart

“I’ll be honest, I don’t feel good about it,” Shiffrin said after the race for the portal usskiandsnowboard.org. “Spitz is like twisting a knife stuck in your heart, while you are the one who stabbed him, and you are also the one who twists it.” added: “Yes, it happens, but it shouldn’t. It’s very sad that my ride has been going very well so far, but it doesn’t get frustrated, especially after a busy day yesterday. But it also happens and I can’t change it, next time I can only I congratulate all the grandmothers who have done their job to the finish line today, especially my colleagues Paula, Nine and Katie. “

For the American slalom star, this was the first disqualification in the race since 2018, when she did not complete the final slalom of the World Cup before the Pyongyang Olympics in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. The fact that Shiffrin is really a rare affair is also evidenced by the statistics of the American phenomenon, which at 207 starts in the World Cup in six disciplines reached 115 stages (55%), 72 of them are victories (35%) and only 15 (7.25%) were disqualified. In the last hundred starts, the DNF status appeared in the result list next to Shiffrin’s name only fifth.

Her best performance this year

Former teammate and Olympic champion Ted Ligety said in an NBC broadcast after Shiffrin’s unfortunate end: “These were some of the best races I’ve seen from her. It’s the best performance I’ve seen from her this year, she should get a video of this ride and watch it and then … press control alt delete and just think great skiing before and not worry about it, because slalom is a game of hundreds. “

The race, which was eventually dominated by our slalom queen Petra Vlhová with a lead of 23 centuries, brought a number of disqualifications, including elite competitors such as the Swiss Michelle Gisin and Katharina Liensberger from Austria. Several competitors and their teams criticized the imperfectly prepared track in Kranjska Gora, which was awarded the organization of the race after the cancellation of the World Cup in Maribor for lack of snow.

The next slalom is scheduled for Tuesday, January 11 in Schladming (18.00 / 20.45), where the race was postponed due to a high seven-day incidence of COVID-19 in Flachau.
