Mikaela Shiffrin’s worlds: 1 gold, 2 silvers and ‘every emotion’ -
Off the slopes, the American skier dealt with a protest from environmentalists who mistakenly thought she was using a helicopter for training - resulting in security being brought in to protect her.
“It’s been a complete world championships - every emotion I could feel,” Shiffrin said after earning the silver medal in slalom on Saturday to conclude the women’s events. “I’m really proud when I look back at the last two weeks. And I also have things to learn as well… . How I handle situations in life and how I can improve on that.
Unheralded Canadian racer Laurence St-Germain stood third after the first run at a distant 0.61 behind Shiffrin. At the finish, Shiffrin didn’t seem to know what her result was at first, then seemed unperturbed when she realized that St-Germain beat her. “And if you look at Wendy today, putting her whole heart on the slope and going for gold … and then it’s just such a disappointing moment,” Shiffrin said. “In the blink of an eye, it’s all gone. I know what that feels like.”While Day was listed as the course setter on the race start list, it was Mitter who actually performed the duties.
