Shiffrin Fourth in Kvitfjell
It was a very stacked super-G race Friday in Kvitfjell, Norway with Shiffrin landing just 0.16 seconds off the pace and a mere four hundredths off the podium.
“It is so fun to ski; this track is amazing,” said Shiffrin. “I felt pretty lucky with my bib draw. I felt like I could push everywhere I wanted to."
Shiffrin will now have time to look at video to see where she lost time before the next super-G race on Sunday.
“I am going to look at video later to see where I can make up time," said Shiffrin. "The course will be different but I will see where I can adjust a little bit."
The winner of the race was Austrian Cornelia Huetter, second place went to Italian skier Elena Curtoni and third place went to Swiss skier Lara Gut-Behrami. Stifel U.S. Alpine Ski Team athlete Breezy Johnson also finished in 28th place. Tricia Mangan landed in 40th. Keely Cashman and Isabella Wright did not finish.
Tomorrow, March 4, is a downhill for the women and Shiffrin, Johnson, Wright, Cashman, Mangan and Lauren Macuga will race for the U.S.
