With two perfect runs, the American once again showed why she is by far the world's best slalom skier. At the same time, the medal was her first at an Olympic Games since her gold in giant slalom in 2018.
She said she thinks about her father every day.
I don't want to live without my dad, and maybe today was the first time I could actually accept this reality. Instead of thinking I would go into this moment without him, I took the opportunity to share it in silence with him.
Shiffrin is only the second woman to win Olympic slalom gold twice. The first was Vreni Schneider in 1994 and 1998.
What do you think?
