An early exit in giant slalom won't derail Shiffrin from attempting to tie the record for most Alpine medals by an American woman.
Mikaela Shiffrin may have exited her first event at the 2022 Winter Olympics earlier than anyone expected, but she is far from done at these Winter Games.
The 26-year-old intends to compete in all five individual women's events: slalom, giant slalom, super-G, downhill and combined. Shiffrin hasn't done more than three events in a single Olympics in her career, though she needs four medals to break the record for most medals for a female alpine skier. One more medal would tie the mark for most Alpine medals by an American woman.
