Mikaela Shiffrin's 2022 Beijing Olympics did not get off to an ideal start.
The American star competed in the first of what could be five events at these Games in the women's giant slalom on Sunday but missed a gate and fell in the early going of her first run. That meant she was eliminated from the competition, which consists of two runs for the gold.
Nick Zaccardi of NBC Sports noted Shiffrin's received a did-not-finish (DNF) status for a giant slalom race for the first time since January 2018, ending a 30-race streak and underscoring her overall consistency in the event.
