Mikaela Shiffrin will race in the super-G on Friday.
The announcement came one day after Shiffrin was disqualified from her second consecutive race in Beijing after making it through just a handful of gates.
The failures led Shiffrin, a two-time Olympic medalist, to question whether she should take a spot in speed skiing races from one of her teammates who might be more deserving.
“If I am going to ski out on the fifth gate, well, what’s the point?” she said shortly after skiing out of the slalom, her best event.
Nothing in Shiffrin’s professional career portended the series of quick, complete disappointments she is enduring this week on her sport’s biggest stage.
