Eileen Gu is now a three-time Olympic medalist, with two golds, after Friday's halfpipe event. Elsewhere, the U.S. men’s curling team chases a medal. Follow here for the latest news, updates and highlights from the Beijing Winter Olympics.
YANQING, China — She is a virtuoso pianist who can’t find middle C, Rothko but now colorblind, LeBron James standing under the basket missing dunk after dunk after dunk. Mikaela Shiffrin understands her story line at the Beijing Games, right down to her final individual run in Thursday’s Alpine combined. She went into it after a solid downhill performance poised for what has eluded her here: a single medal.
Here she is, speaking for all of America, setting up a Thursday afternoon slalom in which she should feel like a trout in a brook. “Hey, she did a pretty good downhill run,” Shiffrin said, in her best Everyday American voice, assessing her chances. “Set up pretty well for the slalom. And there’s no chance — like, come on. … She’s going to at least make it to the finish. This could be the medal that salvages after all.”“Right now, I just feel like a joke,” she said. “So … yeah.”
