Mikaela Shiffrin’s crash-filled 2022 Beijing Olympics ended Sunday without any medals for the American skier.
Her final opportunity came in the bronze-medal race of the mixed team parallel event, but the American team of Shiffrin, Paula Moltzan, River Radamus and Tommy Ford lost to Norway in a tiebreak.
Shiffrin, 26, had been expected to win multiple medals before posting “did not finish” results in the slalom, giant slalom and Alpine combined races. She placed ninth in the super-G and 18th in the downhill.
“I am not disappointed,” Shiffrin said on Sunday. “I have had a lot of disappointing moments at these Games; today is not one of them. Today is my favorite memory. This was the best possible way that I could imagine ending the Games, skiing with such strong teammates.”
Shiffrin did make some Olympic history, becoming the second woman to compete in all six Alpine events in a single Olympics. Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova did it in 2018.
The Norwegian team collected its 37th medal, the most for any nation in these Winter Games.
