Mikaela Shiffrin races her last slalom before the Olympics, while more skiers, bobsledders and skeleton sliders look to lock up Olympic spots on NBC Sports, Olympic Channel and Peacock this week.
Shiffrin has a rare competition during the American workday -- a night slalom in Schladming, Austria, on Tuesday.
Slovakian rival Petra Vlhova is guaranteed to go into the Olympics ranked No. 1 in the world in Shiffrin’s trademark event, but this is Shiffrin’s chance to get some momentum back after straddling a gate in the last slalom on Sunday.
Elsewhere, it’s the last weekend of World Cup competition before U.S. Olympic teams are determined in Alpine skiing, freestyle skiing, Nordic combined, ski jumping, snowboarding, bobsled and skeleton.
Shaun White, after withdrawing from last week’s U.S. Grand Prix at Mammoth Mountain, California, flew to Switzerland for the Laax Open. White failed to clinch an Olympic spot objectively, but only one U.S. male halfpipe rider did (Taylor Gold). There are up to three more spots available via coaches’ picks, and White is in strong position to land one of them.
Among the notable events is a World Cup for aerials and moguls at the 2002 Olympic site of Deer Valley, Utah. Three-time Olympic aerials skier Ashley Caldwell is the biggest name yet to secure a spot on the team for Beijing in those events.
