Two-time Olympic gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin missed a gate early in her race during the women's slalom event Wednesday (Tuesday ET), disqualifying her from the second straight race at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
Afterward, a clearly dejected and stunned Shiffrin sat on the slope, just off the course, before giving an emotional interview with NBC's Todd Lewis.
"I had every intention to go full gas." she said through tears. "... This makes me second-guess, like, the last 15 years, everything I thought I knew about my own skiing, in slalom, and my own racing mentality.
