Shiffrin’s worlds: 1 gold, 2 silvers and ‘every emotion’

Associated Press  

MERIBEL, France — One gold. “It’s been a complete world championships — every emotion I could feel,” Shiffrin said after earning the silver medal in slalom on Saturday to conclude the women’s events. Even if it’s not gold, it’s still been such a spectacular world championships and a spectacular season.” The slalom — traditionally Shiffrin’s best event — was a tale of two vastly different runs. The second run the course set was also completely different and more speed in it and when the agility is a little missing because the energy is a little bit missing, then I’m not willing to take on this speed and to risk everything.” Shiffrin did risk more in the slalom portion of the combined that opened the worlds — and ended up disqualified for straddling three gates from the finish while on track for gold. “And if you look at Wendy today, putting her whole heart on the slope and going for gold... and then it’s just such a disappointing moment,” Shiffrin said.
