How did Team USA's River Radamus do in the men’s slalom final?
River Radamus was one of over 50 skiers who failed to finish the men's alpine giant slalom at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics, ending his medal hopes early.
- On Monday, Team USA member River Radamus, the sole American entrant, did not finish his first run and was eliminated from the men's alpine event at the Milan-Cortina Olympics.
- The two-run format and steep verticals caused heavy attrition, with more than 50 skiers failing to finish across the two-run format and men's courses requiring vertical descents of 180m to 220m and quick reflexes at slalom gates.
- Despite Radamus' prior World Championship and World Cup results, he did not finish his run at the Olympics, eliminating him from contention.
- At the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics, where alpine skiing remains a marquee sport, the two-course combined-time scoring rule determines winners by the lowest total, making errors decisive.
- Given the scoring and gate demands, alpine skiing's risk and athleticism make a single mistake decisive at these Games.
