The giant slalom didn’t result in any big results for the US on Friday. Julia Mancuso did rebound from a 28th place finish in the giant slalom on Thursday to finish 20th in this one but Mikaela Shiffrin fell from 15th to 24th. This isn’t the best event for either of these women but Shiffrin will get a shot at her best event, the slalom, on Saturday.

Shiffrin had a better first run where she placed 18th overall but she was only 23rd in the second run and gave up enough time to end up 24th. Mancuso’s 18th place in the second run bumped her up only a spot to 20th. Both were roughly three seconds behind the winner.

As mentioned earlier Shiffrin will stick around to compete in the slalom on Saturday as will Megan McJames. Joining those two in the field will be Resi Stiegler who was 20th in the first run of the slalom in Sochi. Visit WeSupportTheUS.com tomorrow night for a recap of the slalom.
