Switzerland's Michelle Gisin retained her Olympic title in the women's combined on Thursday as American Mikaela Shiffrin yet again failed to finish.
Gisin won gold with a total time of 2:25.67, a comfortable 1.05 ahead of compatriot Wendy Holdener. Italy's Federica Brignone finished in the bronze medal position.
"I didn’t make it to the finish again, and like 60 percent of my DNF rate has happened at this Olympic Games," said the American. Six-times world champion, Shiffrin was widely expected to add significantly to her career medal tally at these Games. Shiffrin has competed in every individual event in Beijing but her results have been way below all expectations. She was only able to complete the speed events, finishing ninth in the super-G and 18th in the downhill.
