Moltzan 8th; Shiffrin DNF In Slalom

By Mackenzie Moran
February, 9 2022
Paula Moltzan

In her Olympic debut, Minnesota's Paula Moltzan has racked up back-to-back impressive results. Following her 12th-place finish in the giant slalom on Monday, Moltzan led the way on Wednesday with an impressive eighth-place result. Teammate and two-time Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin did not finish. 

It’s not often that Shiffrin falls, but when she does, it’s heartbreaking. Not because she’s failed, but because her love for competition and executing fast, precise turns is so powerful that her utter disappointment is palpable.

At 26, life and loss have humbled Shiffrin. She's experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. And she’s not afraid of the weight of external expectation anymore; it’s not the worst thing she’s ever experienced, she says. What she does feel is betrayed, betrayed by the number one thing she trusts most in the world – her skiing. 

After skiing out at the fifth gate in her second consecutive race of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, Shiffrin moved to the side of the slalom course, took a moment, then quickly popped off her skis. She sat, resting her head on her knees, and stayed there for 25 minutes before skiing down to the finish. 

She walked reporters through what happened. She slipped. She was going full gas, and she didn’t have space to recover. It’s ski racing, and things happen fast. At one moment, she was charging, and the next, she was out of the course. Her emotions ran high, and Shiffrin fought to keep her composure.

When asked what she was still processing after her run, she took a deep breath and sighed. “Pretty much everything.”

“My entire career has taught me to trust in my skiing if it’s good skiing,” Shiffrin explained later on. “That’s all that I have to rely on these race days. When there is pressure, and there’s some nerves and the feeling that I want to do well, I just always go back to that fundamental idea that good skiing will be there for me.”

“It’s not the end of the world, and it’s so stupid to care this much,” she added fighting back tears. “But I feel…I feel that I have to question a lot now.”

In moments of self-doubt, Shiffrin used to turn to her father Jeff for support. Since his passing in 2020, that source of comfort is forever lost. “Right now, I would really like to call him,” she choked. “So that doesn’t make it easier. And he would probably tell me to just get over it, but he’s not here to say that.”

Shiffrin paused again and took a moment to flip through the onslaught of emotions. Residual grief from her father's loss, disappointment in herself for not skiing up to her standard, and guilt that she has put herself and her team through so much work, all for nothing. Until she found the thing she needed to help put things in perspective, the thing that’s kept her on skis these past couple of years – hope. 

“Despite everything that I’m feeling,” she continued. “If you take a look around, it’s a pretty beautiful day. I have incredible teammates here. One of them got a silver medal yesterday. My boyfriend is here, he got a bronze. He’s been working so hard to get an Olympic medal his whole career and he’s had some really bad luck. And I have three medals. I mean, those are still back home in my closet. As disappointed as I feel and as much as I’m feeling right now, there’s so much to be optimistic about.”

Shiffrin’s absence on the pitch did not take away from an American reason to celebrate. Moltzan had a fantastic first run that put her in sixth and allowed her to hang on to an eighth-place finish by the end of the second run. Katie Hensien posted a top 30 in her Olympic debut, in 26th. AJ Hurt finished 34th. And Shiffrin was there in the finish to cheer them on until the end. 

“I’m pretty grateful to have some teammates that are also strong and can put on this show because on a basic level for ski racing in the United States, it's so special to have such a strong group of women competing,” she said. “I feel like my performance is a huge letdown so far. But there’s so much to be proud of for my teammates.”

If she decides to ski, Shiffrin has another shot at an Olympic medal come Thursday, Feb. 10th, in the women's super-G.

In the Nordic Combined Normal Hill/10km competition on Wednesday, Feb. 9, the U.S. men came out and pushed, landing two men into the top 20 and all four men in the top 25. 

The charge was led by Park City's Ben Loomis, who finished 41st in this event back at the 2018 Games. On Wednesday he made a massive improvement, finishing 15th overall after posting a solid jump in 17th and skating hard in the cross country section. 

“I’m really happy with finishing 15th overall today," said Loomis. "I wasn’t totally satisfied with my jumping, but I was able to make up for that in the race. Overall, it was a great day. I’m definitely feeling more confident going into the next events.”

Jared Shumate, who sat in 24th after the jump, also pushed hard in the cross country portion to move up in the rankings, finishing 19th overall in his Olympic Games debut.

“My jumping wasn’t quite as good as I would have hoped for today, but I felt that I had a pretty solid race," commented Shumate. "I had a goal set to get top 20 in the Olympics at the start of this season, and I’m happy to have accomplished that. Starting off the games with a 19th overall finish is pretty satisfying.”

Team veteran, Taylor Fletcher, improved on his PyeongChang Games finish as well, finishing 24th overall. Fletcher, who is known for his speed on the track, used the 10km to jump 10 spots in the ranks after a disappointing jump. Stephen Schumann finished 25th overall.

The nordic combined men have another opportunity to show their stuff in the Individual Large Hill/10km event on Tuesday, Feb. 15th. In the meantime, the team will get back to training at the Nordic Center in Zhangjiakou, China.

Wednesday's snowboard halfpipe qualifiers saw four United States athletes land in the top 12 in each of their respective fields to move on to the final.

The United State's men's snowboard team threw down in a qualifier that felt like a final to punch three tickets into Friday's final competition. Team veteran Shaun White, led the charge, qualifying fourth with 86.25 points, followed by Taylor Gold in seventh with 83.50. In the final minutes, Chase Josey also snuck into the top 12 as the last rider to drop, scoring a 69.50 to bump out Italy's Louie Vito. Lucas Foster decked out midway down the pipe putting in a heroic effort, and he was miraculously unharmed. He finished 17th out of 28 athletes.

On the women's side, Chloe Kim once again dominated the field, finishing first in her qualifier. She'll look to defend an Olympic gold and a four-year winning streak in the women's final on Thursday, Feb. 9.

"I feel good! I'm stoked! And I'm so hungry," Kim said after completing qualifiers Wednesday morning, jokingly referring to her Tweet that went viral just before she took home gold in the 2018 PyeongChang Games. "You think I'd learn my lesson but I guess not, cause right now I'm thinking about dumplings."

Athletes must finish in the top 12 in order to move on to the final, and unfortunately for U.S. Snowboard Team rider Maddie Mastro, she finished 13th, just half a point behind China's Leng Qiu. Tessa Maud and Zoe Kalapos also did not qualify for the final, finishing 16th and 17th respectively.

In finals, each athlete will have three opportunities to put down their best run in the pipe with the top score determining who will land on the podium.

Up first, Chloe Kim will compete in the women's halfpipe final on the morning of Thursday, Feb. 9, which will air on Wednesday night in the United States starting at 8:30 p.m. EST.

Stevenson Silver In Big Air Finals

In Wednesday's big air final, 24-year-old Colby Stevenson earned a career-first Olympic medal in the inaugural Olympic big air competition. Stevenson donned silver behind Norway's Birk Ruud,  named the competition's "the man to beat." Sweden's Henrik Harlaut took the bronze.

Stevenson said that as he was clicking into his skis, getting read for his third hit, he was still deciding what trick he wanted to do. Go big for a switch 19, or play a bit safer and go for a switch 18 and just try to hold the grab for as long as he could. He went with the switch 18, a decision he later called smart, as it allowed him to focus on getting the trick done and not overthinking the global platform he is competing on.

Stevenson has learned a lot about the value of focus and staying present in the current moment, something that he says helps him ski his best. After surviving a skull-shattering car crash at the age of 18 that threatened his ability to function on a day-to-day, Stevenson's outlook on life shifted, which some would say has positively contributed to his skiing.

"That in itself was a miracle, surviving the car crash, so each day I focus on the little things in life and that helps me stay in the moment and be grateful," he said. "Out here today, I had the same kind of mentality, just focusing on the beauty of where we (are), being with friends, such an amazing venue, it helps you ski your best when all these outside things aren't clouding your thoughts. It's important to focus on what you do have and the things you're grateful for, and that's how you're going to do your best."

"That first trick he did, he had never done that before, he just threw it all out in the comp and laid that last jump out too which was just so epic," said his teammate Alex Hall. "Deservedly got second and skied so well I couldn't be more stoked for him."

Hall, who was also a medal favorite, threw it all out in the comp just like his teammate. On the third jump, Hall found himself in a similar position as Stevenson, play it safe or go big. So he went big. 

Hall threw a 2160, the hardest trick he has, one that earned him the X Games gold in January and put him in the history books as the first man to ever land the trick in competition. Unfortunately for Hall, he wasn't able to repeat his X Games victory in Beijing, but he remained in good spirits saying "I'm just hyped to try and give it all I got. Sometimes things just don't go your way, and it's all good."

Hall finished the comp in 8th. Mac Forehand finished 11th in his Olympic debut. 

Next the U.S. men's freeski team heads to Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou to compete in men's freeski slopestyle on Feb. 13.

On Wednesday Feb. 9 in Zhangjiakou's Genting Snow Park, Lindsey Jacobellis of the U.S. women's snowboard cross team took home the first gold medal for Team USA this Olympic Games. 

Jacobellis is a veteran on the U.S. team at the age of 36. This is her fifth Winter Olympic Games. Yet the team leader had yet to secure a gold medal in the big final. Victory evaded her, first in the 2006 Winter Games in Torino, when she fell coming over the last jump after leading the entire race and finished the day with a silver. In 2010 in Vancouver, she swerved off in a semifinal heat and did not qualify for the big final. In 2014, she stumbled and once again missed the final in Sochi. In Pyeongchang in 2018, she made the big final, but was edged out of the top spots and finished fourth.

Finally, in the 2022 Beijing Winter Games, Jacobellis' grabbed the gold she had been chasing for the past 16 years, making her the most seasoned snowboarder in Olympic history to medal at the Games. 

"The level that the women are riding at is a lot higher than it was 16 years ago, so I felt like a winner just because I made it into finals because that's been a challenge every time," said Jacobellis. "All these ladies out here have the potential to win and today it just worked out for me."

"I think she already knows, but everything that [Lindsey] is feeling right now is everything that we want to tell her," said her teammate and seventh-place finisher Stacey Gaskill. "But when I see her next, I think I'll say, 'it's about time. You earned it, and there's no better deserving person to stand on that top step today.'"

Gaskill qualified for semifinals alongside Jacobellis, but was pushed out of the top two and moved into the small final. She finished the day in 7th after crashing in her last run, a top 10 finish for her Olympic debut. Meghan Tierney and Faye Gulini's competition ended in the quarter final where the women finished 12th and 13th respectively.

Cochran-Siegle's Silver Leads Four Americans Into Top 20

In an emotional race on Tuesday, Feb. 8, Ryan Cochran-Siegle became the fourth U.S. man to win an Olympic medal in super G in Team USA's history, taking home the silver.

Cochran-Siegle finished just four-hundredths behind gold medalist Mattias Mayer in a nail-biting run that looked nearly flawless to the naked eye. Wearing bib 14, Cochran-Siegle just hoped the time would hold. He sat 0.38 seconds before third-place finisher, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who would go on to be the day's bronze medalist.

It wasn't until the 30th racer headed down the course that the moment really began to sink in. Just 364 days before, Cochran-Siegle walked out of his hospital bed for the first time after neck surgery, an injury sustained in a crash during the Kitzbuehel downhill. Forty-nine years and 354 days earlier, his mother, Barbara Ann Cochran, won slalom gold in the 1972 Olympics in Sapporo, Japan. Now here he was in Beijing, on the brink of holding a medal of his own.

"It's surreal; it'd be hard to write a better story," chuckled Cochran-Siegle in a post-race interview. "It's full circle."

Happy, relieved, and a little bit proud, Cochran-Siegle said that he was just trying to appreciate the moment, a childhood dream come to fruition on a beautiful bluebird day at the Yanqing Alpine National Ski Center. After an emotional interview with NBC, where Cochran-Siegle fought back tears as he attempted to wrap his head around the possibility of his first Olympic medal, he hopped on the phone to FaceTime with his mom and his older sister Cate. They stayed up to watch the race back at home in Vermont. 

"I knew that he was capable of doing it," Barbara Ann shared through tears. "...You just never know on a particular day whether or not that’s going to happen, so I’m so so proud."

"Part of me recognized I was skiing well, and I had to trust that and fight all the way for the finish," said Cochran-Siegle. "You dream of these moments, you see it in your mind and at times you have to put it away and just focus on the skiing which is what I was doing today. But to come down and see that I was in second, and that we were a ways ahead...I mean it was wild."

Cochran-Siegle's medal is the first alpine medal of the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing 2022. 

His teammates, Travis Ganong, River Radamus, and Bryce Bennett, finished 12th, 15th, and 17th, rounding out the day with four Americans in the super G top 20, matching Team Germany for the most men from any one nation to break into the top 20. Radamus, who skied in his Olympic debut on Tuesday, fought hard for a top 15 slot from the back fo the pack wearing bib 33.

Up next on the men's alpine docket is the men's giant slalom on Saturday, Feb. 12. The women take on the slalom on Wednesday, Feb. 9, airing on Tuesday evening Eastern time.

It was a historic night at the Kuyangshu Nordic Center, Zhangjiakou, China, as Jessie Diggins won the bronze medal in the freestyle sprint, and led seven Americans into the top 25, including Rosie Brennan in fourth.

“I am so grateful and thankful for our team,” said Diggins, who won the first U.S. women’s individual Olympic medal. “We had amazing skis, and we have had so much support … and then we had seven people make the heats - that’s amazing!”

Ben Ogden took an interesting route to post the best-ever U.S. men’s sprint result in 12th, JC Schoonmaker was 15th, Julia Kern 18th, Kevin Bolger 17th, and Luke Jager 25th. Sweden’s Jonna Sundling took the gold, which countrywomen Maja Dahlqvist won the silver. Norway’s Johannes Klaebo took the gold on the men's side, with Italy’s Federico Pellegrino winning the silver and the Russian Olympic Committee’s Alexander Terentev taking the bronze.

Team USA advanced three women and four men into the heats Tuesday night. Brennan set the fastest afternoon qualifying time for the Americans, opening the evening heats in remarkable fashion by coming back from a missed pole plant at the start of the first heat that resulted in a slight fall to finish second. 

“I certainly made that interesting,” Brennan said after finishing her quarterfinal heat, adding that it was one of the hardest races she had ever done. 

Diggins easily won the fourth quarterfinal heat, while Kern finished fourth in the fifth heat.

In the opening men’s quarterfinal heat, which proved one of the fastest, Ogden finished fourth but sat as the second lucky loser based on time through the fourth heat when China’s Qiang Wang knocked him out. However, Wang was disqualified following the fifth and final quarterfinal heat due to obstruction, so Ogden, who had already removed his bib and timing chips, scrambled to get back to the start to prepare for the semifinals. 

Racing in the first semifinals, Ogden skied the best race of his life so far. Despite finishing sixth, he was in the mix throughout the race, finishing just 1.24 seconds back from race winner Klaebo.

In the women’s semifinals, Diggins finished second to advance to the finals, while Brennan was fourth but advanced to the finals as one of two Lucky Losers - a historic first for the U.S. women with two in the finals. Sundling opened a slight advantage at the halfway point in the finals and held it to the finish. Meanwhile, Diggins rallied from fourth position coming into the final 300 meters, and Brennan rallied from fifth.

When Diggins crossed the line, she had no idea she had won the bronze medal. “I didn’t believe it,” she said. “I had to look up a few times on the (score)board, and I was scared to celebrate early in case it wasn’t true.” She finally realized she had won another Olympic medal when she looked over and saw her teammates and Team USA staff celebrating. 

Up next, the women compete in the 10k classic on Thursday, and the men race the 15k classic Friday.

O'Brien Injury Update

February, 7 2022
Nina O'Brien

Nina O’Brien was on track to capture one of the best finishes of her career in the Winter Olympic Games giant slalom on Monday, Feb. 7. She came into the second run wearing bib 21, sitting in sixth behind Norway's Ragnhild Mowinckel. On the hunt for a medal in her Olympic debut, O’Brien pushed throughout the entirety of the course.

A fast run took an unfortunate turn of events at the final gate when O’Brien caught an edge and spiraled into an aggressive crash best described as a chaotic jumble of limbs and skis. She was immediately attended to by on-course medical staff. After further evaluation, it was announced O'Brien sustained a compound fracture of her left tibia and fibula just short of the finish. She was transported to the hospital in Yanqing where an initial stabilization procedure was successfully performed by local doctors, and she received excellent care. She will return to the US for further evaluation and care.

O'Brien would like to express her gratitude to all of the people who assisted her so quickly in the finish area at the race, and especially to the doctors and nurses at the hospital who have taken such great care of her. 

 

Stevens Eleventh In Big Air

Darian Stevens of Missoula, Montana made it a point to go down in history this Winter Olympic Games as one of the 12 women who competed in the first big air final in Olympic history. Stevens finished 11th overall, but not for lack of trying.

Monday's competition at the Big Air Shougang jump in Beijing was the first final she has qualified for in big air so far this season. After throwing a switch 1080 in her opening run, and falling a bit flat on her second run, Stevens took a look into the broadcast camera and said "gotta go big in big air, right?"

She knew she had one last shot to show the world what she's made of, and she did just that.

In an attempt to keep up with the progression of tricks demonstrated by the rest of the field, Stevens made the risky decision to go for a double cork 1440 in her third run, a trick she had tried for the first time in practice the same day. She didn't land it, but she did ski away with a huge smile on her face.

"I don't compete in big air a lot, but I do think it's really fun," said Stevens. "It's an event where you bring out the best tricks you can do and lay it all out on the line, and that's what I did today."

"It's kind of crazy, to try a double for the first time in Olympic final practice, but it felt like the right time, so I just gave her a rip today," she added. "I went a little bigger than I thought, and over-rotated a tad bit, but it was not too bad. I'm happy to just come out and show the world a trick they didn't know I could do."

Keeping up with the progression of tricks was the biggest challenge of the day. Each athlete was pushing their limit, and thus pushing the sport. NBC commentator Tom Wallisch called the event one of the most progressive freeski events he had ever watched.

Eileen Gu, a San Francisco native competing for China, threw a double cork 1620 – a trick she had never attempted in competition – to make her bid for gold. Silver medalist Tess Leduex of France and bronze medalist Mathilde Gremaud of Switzerland pushed her to the limit, as each woman stomped a double cork 1440 at some point throughout the competition.

After an emotional finish Tuesday's big air final, the women move on to compete in freeski slopestyle qualifiers on Saturday, Feb. 12.

Defending Olympic gold medalist Red Gerard finished fourth in the Olympic Winter Games slopestyle finals on Monday, Feb. 7. 

Gerard put down his best run right out of the gate in the best-of-three-run finals at Genting Snow Park. His run featured technical and stylish combinations through the three-part rail section, 50-50 to backside 360 50-50, into the drop-off rail with a frontside 180 on to switch backside 540 out, finishing with a backside noseslide 450 out. Gerard sent it through the jumps, landing a switch backside 1620 Indy, into a frontside double cork 1080 Weddle, finishing with a backside 1620 method—a huge run earning a modest score of 83.25. 

“Definitely would have liked to be on the podium—didn’t fully agree with the judging, but that’s okay, that’s the way it goes,” said Gerard. “I was really happy I was able to put down a run I’ve always wanted to do and this course was incredible, it treated us awesome.” While this marks the first time the U.S. Team has missed the top spot on the Olympic slopestyle podium since the event premiered in 2014, Gerard is already looking ahead to WInter Olympics Milano Cortina 2026—his prediction, “It’ll be a sweep there.” 

Chris Corning followed in sixth place with a score of 65.11, putting his best run down on his final attempt, but not improving over his fourth place finish in PyeongChang 2018. First time Olympian Sean FitzSimons finished in twelfth, unable to put down a run despite qualifying in third coming into these finals and settling for a score of 29.61.

Canada’s Max Parrot earned gold with a score of 90.96, followed by China’s Su Yuming with a score of 88.70 for silver, and Canada’s Mark McMorris with an 88.53 to earn his third Olympic bronze medal.

The U.S. slopestyle team will be back at it in Big Air with qualifiers scheduled for Feb. 14th.
