"Witzfarf" Shifrin already out again

US skistar Mikaela Shifrin will finish the Olympic Winter Games in China after a newly out of a single medal. The 26-year-old experienced the next disappointment in the Alpine combination on Thursday. According to third place in the descent, she threaded in Slalom at the 13th goal and did not go to the finish.

Gold went to the Swiss Michelle Gisin's Swiss in 2018 with 1.05 second lead to her compatriot Wendy Holdener. The bronze medal won Federica Brignone from Italy (+ 1.85). A German athlete was not at the start.

For Shifrin, the games in China are so far a debacle. Both in the giant slalom in which she had become 2018 Olympic champion, as well as in the slalom she had won in 2014, she was earlier in Yanqing as a favorite early. The last chance to take home a plaque at all, she has in the Teamvent on Saturday. Whether it is nominated for it was initially open.

Probably it would be the best if I just finished my career.

"Probably it would be the best if I just finished my career," Shifrin said, laughing - it was really howling. "I feel like a wit figure." But again crying, like the out of the giant slalom and in the special Lalom? No, "I'm really disappointed and really frustrated," she told, "but I have no emotions, no energy left."

According to the seats nine and 18 in the Super-G and in the departure, the American was finally a bit more sensitive than in the days before they had shed many tears. In the descent of the combination, she focused on the ski she had received from the Olympic Second Sofia Goggia from Italy as fifth a good starting position for the decisive slalom. The Italian had even glued her a message on the red slats: "Fly Mika, you can!" But just in their paraded discipline in which they have already celebrated four World Cup titles and 47 World Cup victories, Shifrin then patzte and missed her first coin of these games again.
