Mikaela Shiffrin arrives at her last stand of these Olympics — her signature slalom

CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy — Here it comes, Mikaela Shiffrin’s last stand. Just like that, Alpine skiing has arrived at its final event, the women’s slalom. Fittingly, it’s also Shiffrin’s last chance for a medal in Milan Cortina. Shiffrin, the Alpine skiing GOAT, has not won an Olympic medal since 2018 in Pyeongchang, South Korea. She was 22 then, a threat in slalom and downhill and everything in between. So much of her career and so many Olympic races left. She’s 30 now (and turns 31 next month)
