In a shocking moment on the slopes Wednesday at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin got a DNF in the second race in a row. The American superstar skidded out of control about five seconds into the opening run of the slalom and is out of the event.
In a wild night in snowboard competition, Lindsey Jacobellis won gold in her fifth Olympics in snowboardcross, while Chloe Kim and Shaun White qualified into halfpipe finals.

Americans begin curling gold medal
The U.S. men’s curling team, gold-medal winners in 2018, needed an extra end (overtime to the curling layperson), but got a masterful final shot from skipper John Shuster to defeat the Russian Olympic Committee team in their first match.
