Shiffrin prolonged her streak of Olympic races with out a medal to seven when she and teammate Breezy Johnson finished fourth within the team combined event. Johnson handed Shiffrin a slim lead after the downhill portion, but probably the most successful World Cup racer of all time with a record 108 victories couldn’t make it get up within the slalom. After taking two golds and silver from her first two Olympics, Shiffrin didn’t win a medal in any of her six races on the 2022 Beijing Games.
