Alexis Pinturault and Tessa Worley were keen to win a medal this Sunday in the last alpine skiing event, the mixed team parallel. Unfortunately, the French team, also composed of Mathieu Faivre and Coralie Frasse Sombet, was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Norway, to within two hundredths. “We are all disappointed that it ended so soon, we had big ambitions, we have a great team”, said the “chip” of Le Grand-Bornand Tessa Worley.
Austria won the event ahead of Germany and Norway amid gusty winds. “You can’t blame anyone. Two hundredths frankly, it goes one way or it goes the other, philosophized Pinturault. I have to find the motivation, the desire, and I can’t say when I’ll be back on skis this summer. (after the end of the season). I really want to make time for myself.” For these last Olympics, Tessa Worley does not win the medal she was hoping for so muchshe is the double world champion in the giant slalom, who came across this event at the start of the Games.
Olympics to forget for Mikaela Shiffrin
Another cador without a medal, Mikaela Shiffrin. The double Olympic champion (2014 and 2018) could not save the failed Games when she was the favorite for several podiums. The 26-year-old American had fallen in the giant, slalom and combined, and took 9th place in the super-G and 18th in the downhill before the team competition.
