On February 7, Mikaela Shivlin made a mistake in the women's grand slalom and failed to finish the race. On February 9, Mikaela Shifflin made her debut again in the women's slalom competition, and she is looking forward to hitting the gold medal in the slalom competition. Sadly, Mikaela Shiffrin was once again unable to finish the race. Mikaela Shifflin set off with a somewhat unsteady rhythm, slipping under her feet and missing the flag gate. Gold-winning hit Mikaela Shifflin, who was once again unexpectedly out, took off her snowboard and sat in the snow, burying her head between her legs, extremely frustrated.
At just 26 years old, Mikaela Shifflin is one of the most accomplished ice and snow athletes of all time. She holds a record 11 World Championship medals, as well as two Olympic gold medals and an Olympic silver medal. She is the only skier to win a World Cup in all six events. Mikaela Shifflin, who has won the World Cup in 47 slalom events and is known as the "world's first woman's slalomer in alpine skiing", was considered one of the brightest stars of the Winter Olympics before the competition.

Mikaela Shifflin was born into a ski family, and her mother won seven medals at the FIS Alpine Skiing Event from 1999 to 2003. 2-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin began learning to ski and showed exceptional skiing talent. In March 2011, Mikaela Shiffering began competing in the World Cup, and a year later, she won her first World Cup title. At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, 18-year-old Mikaela Shiffrin won the women's slalom championship in alpine skiing, becoming the youngest women's slalom winter olympic champion in history. In 2019, Mikaela Shivlin made her goal clear: "When I was very young, my goal was to strive to be the number one in the world. It's not just about winning an Olympic medal, because winning an Olympic medal doesn't mean you're the number one in the world, it just means you're the best on that day, and it's harder to be number one in the world. ”
This time, Mikaela Shifflin came to the Beijing Winter Olympics and used one word to describe her goal - to rush the gold in the alpine skiing event. "I know it's not easy and it takes a very hard preparation, both physically and psychologically, for that. Preparations must be meticulous, including technical and tactical, physical reserves, accommodation and catering, and even time difference. She said.
Last winter, Mikaela Shivlin contracted the new crown pneumonia virus, and after entering the New Year, she recovered her health and played a stable role in the World Cup sub-station, building her confidence in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
No one would have imagined that the outcome of the game would be like this, which also made many American media reporters and snow fans around the world who like Mikaela Shiflin overshadowed. In fact, Mikaela Shifflin's strength is still quite strong, objectively speaking, the previous injuries have affected her state to some extent, especially because of the new crown pneumonia virus, she missed a very important training and competition time, which may be an important reason for Mikaela Shivlin's defeat at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Winning or losing is a common thing for soldiers, and constantly surpassing themselves is also the charm of sports competition. Mikaela Shivlin's father once told her that "the road to championship is to be the best", as she herself said, "Maintaining a strong heart is the most important thing in your career". Regardless, Mikaela Shivlin remains the queen of alpine skiing in the hearts of snow fans around the world.
