Mikaela Shiffrin Discusses Failing to Medal in Slalom at 2018 Olympics

American skier Mikaela Shiffrin is still searching for answers two days after failing to medal in the slalom at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Through her official Twitter account, Shiffrin said she's gone over her run "a thousand times in my head, and I don't think I could have done it differently even if I got a second chance."

Shiffrin also noted the various schedule changes due to weather conditions in Pyeongchang likely didn't help her out:

"I keep thinking that maybe if I was able to control my emotions more after the Giant Slalom, I would have had more energy for the Slalom and maybe I could have put more into that race, maybe I would have had better control of my nerves, maybe but after 5 days of schedule changes and waiting to race, and with no day between those races to recharge, I wasn't able to manage it.
