In her fourth Olympic appearance, Mikaela Shiffrin has yet to medal in the Milan Cortina Games. That streak continued on Sunday as she finished 11th in the women’s giant slalom in skiing. She had previously won gold in giant slalom at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Italy’s Federica Brignone won her second gold medal in this year’s Games on Sunday after winning the downhill race, too. What’s miraculous about Brignone’s run this year is that 10 months ago, she suffered multiple displaced fractures in her left leg. She returned to skiing just this past November in time for the Winter Games. It was believed it would take up to two years to recover, but the 35-year-old has proven the impossible by winning two gold medals already in her home country.
