Bongpyeong, South Korea • If there was any pain or discomfort, the expression on the face of McRae Williams showed neither. He would’ve been right to be slouched over, the throbbing pain of a shoulder separation mid-run in his Olympic debut taking hold. He instead stood upright for interview after interview in the mixed zone at the base of the Phoenix Snow Park, explaining that yeah, it was a bummer, but that’s the way it goes.
The Park City-raised slopestyle skier anticipated this was the fifth or sixth time his right shoulder has popped out of its socket.
