.MikaelaShiffrin tells hodakotb she ‘wanted to melt off the face of the earth’ after skiing out in slalom
"When I was sitting on the side of the slalom hill after I DNF’ed in the slalom race last week, I wanted to just melt off the face of the earth," she told Hoda Kotb."I just wanted to disappear, and I was like I’m going to have to ski down this hill into the finish and face humans that are judging — no matter what it’s a judgment — and I was so not prepared to do that, and I just need to take a minute because this feels so awful.
"I think it’s OK to say that it was a pretty epic underperformance. Didn’t get anywhere close to the results that I had the potential to get, and I certainly had ample opportunity." "I do read it," she told Hoda."I see a lot of comments that are negative and I see so many comments that are positive. I actually think it’s important to get across the message how much I appreciate the support I’ve gotten.""There’s so many kids out there especially now with social media who get messages like that," she said.
