Mikaela Shiffrin arrives at her fourth Olympics hardly burdened by the ghosts of Beijing
- Back in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, Mikaela Shiffrin, the most decorated alpine skier, arrives for her fourth Olympic Games feeling 'wide-eyed' about competing again.
- Team USA coach Paul Kristofic said she narrowed her Olympic program to prevent being 'spread very thin' chasing speed and tech, after a 2024 injury and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
- A season of results shows Shiffrin's form, including a record 108 World Cup wins and seven of eight slalom wins this season, securing her eighth Crystal Globe.
- Over the coming days the Games will test Shiffrin's comeback, with her program starting Feb. 10, then Feb. 15 and Feb. 18, and the next two weeks will define her story.
- Left without medals in Beijing, Shiffrin's rebound has taken shape, guided by her mantra: 'You can fail and not be a failure,' shaping Olympic perception.
