Previous Are – Women’s FIS Alpine Skiing World Cup Coverage

The Americans weren’t at their strongest on Thursday as the top US finisher, Mikaela Shiffrin, finished 15th after failing to crack the top 12 on either of her two runs. Julia Mancuso was even further back in 28th of the 29 skiers who were able to complete the two runs. Only the top 30 competed on the second run and that eliminated Megan McJames after she finished 53rd on the initial run.

There is another women’s giant slalom event tomorrow with the same three in the starting field. A top five finish by the US isn’t expected, that should hopefully come with Shiffrin’s slalom event on Saturday, but it would be nice to see a better result out of Shiffrin and Mancuso tomorrow. Check WeSupportTheUS.com tomorrow night for a recap of the giant slalom event and a look at Saturday’s slalom start list.
