Based on FIS, it has been almost 4 years now since she DNF in SL for last time. Pretty impressive performance, especially when it's about SL, where you have about 100 chances each race to miss line for 2cm and you are out.
And that was a ski-out, not a straddle.Looks like it was Schiffrin’s first DNF in slalom since Lenzerheide in January 2018.

Mikaela Shiffrin’s late mistake costs win in last slalom before Olympics
The American has had a disappointing few races.olympics.nbcsports.com
I can't begin to imagine what's going on in Wendy's head.I think a lot of us were pulling for Holdener & she really was close but even without the mistakes it is a big ask to top Vlhova when she has a clean run.
Thanks for the reminder that SL used to be turny.Shiffrin

My all-time favorite Shiffy race - I don’t even need to see it. First big win. Dad being a Dad. And, of course, the greatest podium reaction ever (so good I saved the photos on my phone).Shiffrin

So courses are set these days with much less offset?Thanks for the reminder that SL used to be turny.
Shiffy (coaches wanting to give their athletes a better chance).So courses are set these days with much less offset?
There’s no rule on offset, right? Just distance?
What’s caused the shift?
