Mikaela Shiffrin Has a Surprisingly Rough Slalom Run at Winter Olympics 2026, Fails to Medal

Mikaela Shiffrin surprisingly struggled at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The 30-year-old Team U.S. alpine skier had a difficult time during her slalom run on Tuesday (February 10), and her scoring ultiamtely led to a 4th place finish for herself and teammate Breezy Johnson during the debut alpine skiing combined event, a first at the Olympics.

The new competition sees two people from the same team compete, one in a single downhill run and the other in a single slalom run, and their scores are combined for the final result.
