It has been fasinating watching Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) recover emotionally from the bitter disappointment of skiing out of her two best disciplines. Since spending nearly a half hour sitting on the snow crying she has come back to finish 9th in the Super G and 13th in this Downhill. Although we soon discovered that this was another training run for her final event the Women's Combined where she placed herself 5th after the downhill with the slalom (her best event) yet too come. The best part is to see her finding joy and humor as she talks with the cameras constantly in her face. I sure hope she gets a medal to complete her transformation in these Beijing Winter Olympics.
