American skier Mikaela Shiffrin spoke out Thursday on social media amid her struggles at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
After missing a gate and failing to finish the slalom portion of the women's combined event Thursday, Shiffrin posted the following message on Twitter in response to her detractors:
Shiffrin was expected to contend for and win multiple gold medals at the Beijing Games, but she hasn't won a medal of any color.
In addition to Thursday's DNF, Shiffrin failed to finish both the giant slalom and slalom earlier in these Olympics despite those being two of her best events.
