Michaela Shiffrin also failed to win a medal on the last day of the Winter Olympics. The top American skater lost the bronze medal to Norway in the mixed team national competition with the United States.
It’s a huge loss for Shiffrin, who had several medal chances in Beijing. The two-time Olympic champion could not compete for medals at these games in giant slalom, slalom, super G and mix.
In the last two sessions, Shiffrin has finished with the Olympic gold medal. In 2014 she was the best in slalom, and four years later in Pyeongchang, South Korea, she took the Olympic title in giant slalom. Four years ago, there was also a silver on the set.
Austria took the gold at the Mixed Nations Cup in Beijing and Germany had to take the silver. The segment was about the program for the second time at the Olympics.
The fight for medals will be on Saturday. Games could not be held at that time, due to the strong winds.
In the medal table, Austria climbed to seventh place, just behind the Netherlands. Austria seven gold medals, the Netherlands eight medals.
