Mikaela Shiffrin, having placed 11th in the giant slalom, is set to compete in her final event at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics.
Today, she is expected to start seventh in the women’s slalom event.
Slalom, known for its rapid pace, challenges skiers to weave through a twisting course, marked by poles and gates. This has historically been Shiffrin’s strongest event; in fact, she clinched her first Olympic gold in slalom twelve years ago.
The women’s slalom takes place on February 18th at 4 a.m. Eastern Time, at the Olimpia delle Tofane Ski Course in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. Coverage will be via the USA Network.
The competition features two runs. The skier with the fastest cumulative time at the end of the second run stands on the podium.
Olympic Women’s Slalom Start Time
As mentioned, the first run of the women’s giant slalom will kick off at 4 a.m. ET, followed by the second run at 7 a.m.
