Mikaela Shiffrin settles for bronze in women s super-G at world championships
Not anymore.
The American skier has a different outlook now.
Shiffrin was all smiles after settling for bronze in the super-G at the world championships on Thursday able to quickly move on mentally from a mistake toward the end of an otherwise perfect run. A medal doesn t change your life, said Shiffrin, a two-time Olympic champion who won the super-G at the previous worlds two years ago. There s bigger things.
She should know. Because Shiffrin s life has been upended over the past year.
Her father, Jeff Shiffrin, died following an accident at the family s home in Edwards, Colorado, last February. Then the outbreak of the coronavirus in Europe cut short the World Cup season in mid-March just when Shiffrin was attempting a comeback.
Gut-Behrami continues super-G domination at FIS Alpine Ski World Cup Monday, 1 February 2021
Lara Gut-Behrami earned her fourth consecutive super-G win after triumphing at the International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Ski World Cup in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
The Swiss star had already recorded a super-G victory at the German resort this weekend and won yet again with a time of 1min 17.37secs.
Her nearest opponent was Petra Vlhová of Slovakia, who was just 0.24 seconds off the winning pace.
Vlhová might have caught Gut-Behrami, but a mistake mid-race cost her valuable time.
In third was Tamara Tippler of Austria in 1:18.11.
Gut-Behrami s dominance in the super-G means she is firmly in the lead in the discipline standings with 445 points.
