Mikaela Shiffrin On Why It's OK to Laugh About Olympic Disappointment
"At a certain point, it just feels like you -- you kind of just have to laugh it," Shiffrin said."There are people out there who probably are laughing at my situation -- not in a particularly kind way -- but it's OK to say that it was a pretty epic underperformance. I didn't get anywhere close to the results that I had the potential to get.
"And I certainly had ample opportunity" she added, with a giggle."I don't think there's anyone in the history of alpine ski racing who's raced what will be six competitions in a Winter Games. And that's because we now have the team event which was added to the original five competitions.""I'm still breaking records just not necessarily the one people want to see," she laughed.
