YANQING, China (Reuters) – American Mikaela Shiffrin failed to finish the women’s combined on Thursday, skiing out in the slalom race to leave her with no individual medal in the Beijing Olympics.
The 26-year-old had failed to finish in both the slalom and giant slalom but was well poised for a gold medal push in the combined which features a downhill and then slalom run.
