Since the Olympic Games started, the world of alpine ski has seen a lot of activity. There have been record numbers of skiers, more athletes have participated than ever in races, and many have won medals. Austria has yet not won gold in the women's giant ski slalom.
Giant slalom or GS is a technical event which involves more turns that slalom. Each skier does two runs down a hill. The winner gets the fastest time.
This was the inaugural race at Beijing 2022 Olympics. It was held on the Yanqing National Alpine Ski Center, Yanqing District. Sara Hector of Sweden won, Federica Brignone (Italy) taking silver, and Lara Gut-Behrami (Switzerland), getting bronze.
She had won the gold medal in this event at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, and she was expected to defend her title at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Shiffrin lost her balance just seconds after her first run and was disqualified.
Shiffrin had failed to finish the third giant slalom. Shiffrin had fallen in her first GS race at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, and had already skied in the second.
Shiffrin appears to be looking forward very positively to the 2022 Olympics. She has won backtoback slalom races. Now she wants to achieve her 50th slalom victory and her 77th World Cup win.
Her victory in the slalom was her fourth at Courchevel and she was well on her way to becoming the first woman ever to win all four World Cup events.
While she was a bit slow for her first run, she quickly improved it with her second. She ran the fastest time that she could in that run and she held on to her lead until Brignone was done.
Hector placed eighth on her first run. She started to get close to Shiffrin after her second run. She was 0.77 seconds ahead Shiffrin by the end.
She is also the first skier ever to win a medal in all four Olympic events. She has won over half of her career in slalom and her 77th World Cup victory is three short of the American record.
