After finishing 11th in the giant slalom, Mikaela Shiffrin will ski in her final Winter Olympic event in Milano-Cortina.

Slalom, a fast event, requires skiers to navigate a winding or winding course marked by poles, gates, or obstacles with straight turns. Shiffrin’s best event, historically, is the slalom, and it’s the one in which she won her first Olympic gold medal 12 years ago.
