After failing to get past the fifth gate in her first two events of the Beijing Olympics, U.S. skiing star Mikaela Shiffrin takes solace in getting to the end.

When she hit the brakes and took a peek at the scoreboard, there was nothing much good to see up there. But on this day, of all days, it hardly mattered.
Gut-Behrami, the defending world champion in the super-G, secured her first Olympic gold and her second medal of these Games, conquering the icy course known as The Rock. Mirjam Puchner of Austria took the silver, and Michelle Gisin of Switzerland won the bronze.
