Similarly, Shiffrin lost only a third time in her entire professional career in the World Cup in the 2nd round of slalom. Whenever this happened to her, the Slovaks enjoyed the triumph. The American woman went to Semmering in 2012, just like this time, the third from the end, Veronika Velez-Zuzulová won the race. Petra Vlhová won in Lenzerheide 2018, Shiffrin dropped out as the last rider on the track.

She didn’t know how and when to go to the target area. If she crossed the finish line at a time when Petra Vlhová would already be on the slope, the photocell could catch her and the timekeeping of her ride would be ruined. Mikaela Shiffrin commented on this situation through a video on her Instagram.
“I wanted to get to the finish line to see the big screen. I wanted to see Petrina’s ride, but I didn’t want to cross the finish line because I didn’t want to ruin the timekeeping, “ she explained at the outset.
“If I had ruined my time, I would be in big trouble. So I preferred to wait, but I didn’t see the screen from there and I didn’t know what was going on. I’ve only seen the last eight goals, ” describes the laughing Mikael Shiffrin comic situation.

“But they still didn’t start, so I thought I should go. But I was really afraid I would ruin the timekeeping, so I’d rather not go. And I had nowhere to go. I couldn’t just walk around the finish line and disappear so I wouldn’t say anything. It was very embarrassing.
The first thing I thought about after falling out, apart from ‘oh damn’, was, ‘how do I get down? Can I ski the rest of the track? Probably not, I’d probably get fined for that. What if I went downstairs? But what if he starts Peter, I cross the finish line and ruin the time? Everyone will be very angry … So I’ll just wait there, but then everyone will celebrate and I’ll go over the goal like: whoo, here I am, “ she talked about what she had been thinking throughout the situation.
In the end, she only reached the finish line after the last Wendy Holdenor, which was also captured on camera.

Mikaela Shiffrin didn’t go around the press after the unsuccessful ride, so we don’t have any comments from her. She commented on races and dropouts only through social networks. “Where words are not enough, emoticons are,” she wrote and added smilies with censorship through her mouth.
“Congratulations to Petra Vlhová, Wendy Holdener and Anne Swenn-Larsson, you have done a good job. Next is the hill I’ve always dreamed of skiing – Schladming. Woof, ” also led towards Tuesday’s night slalom.
