ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (March 20, 2016) – The World Cup season wrapped up Sunday with another sunny and warm spring day in the Swiss Alps at the World Cup Finals with men’s slalom and women’s giant slalom. Mikaela Shiffrin (Eagle-Vail, CO) showed promise in GS despite skiing out in the first run.
Mikaela Shiffrin
I was real excited about my skiing up until that point. I twisted out of the turn too soon. It’s a really big bummer, but I’m so much happier skiing the course like that and not finishing, than skiing really slow. I know my GS skiing is good, and at least I got to one split to prove that.
It’s really warm, so (the course) is not rock solid, but the surface was hard - I loved it. Obviously I loved it for the gates that I skied, and then I loved it when I was sliding down the course on my butt.
We’re heading to Nationals in Sun Valley. I’m doing the GS and slalom, and I’ve never been there before. I’m really excited. I feel like I have one more shot at racing GS there, and hopefully I can go out with a bang!
