Ski Empress Michaela Shiffrin (31, USA) confessed her fear ahead of the Olympics.
According to the official website of the "2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics" and foreign media such as NBC, Shiffrin confessed in a recent interview that she was under severe psychological pressure due to the nightmare of disqualification and injury trauma at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
"I haven't even arrived in Cortina yet, and I have nightmares every night thinking that this Olympics might not be a beautiful ending," Shiffrin confessed in an interview.
The media said, "Although it is at the top of the world, the memory of being disfigured by 'no medal' at the Beijing Games four years ago as both the main event and the competition were disqualified (DNF) remains a trauma at the level of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)."
"I don't want to be afraid of the Olympics itself because of my memories in Beijing," Shiffrin said. "I'll enjoy the game with the mindset that it's okay even if the results don't go as planned."
Shiffrin's maturity was also evident in her attitude toward her colleagues. When "ski legend" Lindsey Vonn (USA), who had reversed his retirement and was seeking to participate in the Olympics, was injured in a collision with a fence during training on the 30th, Shiffrin immediately went public cheering.
When Vaughan said on his Instagram, "I've been injured, but it's not over yet," Shiffrin left a comment on the post, "If anyone can do this, it's you."
Shiffrin aims to restore her honor in her main events, alpine skiing, competitions, and super competitions, at this competition, which will open on the 6th.
