Just like in her first event of these Olympics, the giant slalom, the American racer was done for the day within a matter of seconds. BEIJING, China — Two-time Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin's second race at the Beijing Games ended even more quickly than her first. Shiffrin appeared to yell out the moment she missed the gate in the slalom, which she won at the 2014 Sochi Games. Earlier, Shiffrin herself had called her disqualification from the opening leg of the giant slalom “a huge disappointment." Shiffrin is trying to become the first Alpine ski racer from the United States to win three Olympic golds across a career.
