Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States walks from the finish area after a training run at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Thursday, Feb. 10, 2022, in the Yanqing district of Beijing. Two-time Olympic champion and pre-games medal favorite, Mikaela Shiffrin has skied out in the first run of both the slalom and giant slalom.
"I will try to reset again and maybe try to reset better this time," she told reporters after her second “did not finish” Wednesday."But I also don’t know how to do it better, because I just don’t. I’ve never been in this position before and I don’t know how to handle it." Nathan Chen, 22, won gold Thursday after a nearly flawless long program. He is the seventh U.S. men's skater to win the top prize at the Olympics.
"I just had a blast out there," Chen told reporters after the medal ceremony. He said he had a sense after landing his last jump that he might have clinched the gold although he kept going over little mistakes he'd felt he'd made."Overall, I'm just so happy. I can't even describe it ... it's just amazing.
