Results from the Women's Downhill Olympics
The Olympic Games have always loved the women's downhill. This race often features the top skiers from around the world, and is often a tough competition. The race has a long history of producing memorable finishes at the Olympics. It was won by Lindsey Vonn in Sochi 2014.
It was expected that there would be tough competition because of the new venue, which is world-class. That has been proven to be the case.
Sofia Goggia was the Olympic gold medalist. She made a strong run in the downhill but fell just short. In the end she came fourth behind Nadia Delago in Italy and Anastasiia Amirnova in Russia.
Sweden's Walter Wallberg was awarded a gold in the men's moguls. Three of the nation's top 10 finishers finished within this event. Mikael Kingsbury from Canada won silver, while Ikuma Horishima (Japan) took bronze.
It's been a busy week in alpine skiing. Despite the unpredictable weather, Mikaela Shifrin, an American skier has continued to fight hard and is still in contention for a medal in these Games.
She skied out two of her five individual events. But, she has regained confidence after last week's super G. This will help her prepare to compete in the combined, which is where she is a favorite for a medal.

30 skiers remained at the end of the first round. Then, they had to fight their way through two finals rounds - one cut from 20 to 12, and another from 12 to 6.
That's a very brutal progression. Fans can watch it as it removes the weaker competitors.
A total of four American skiers made it through to the finals in moguls: Kai Owens, Olivia Giaccio, Hannah Soar, and Jaelin Kauf.
It's fascinating to note that all four are in the top-30 of their respective World Cup events. Giaccio, Soar, and Giaccio were the top-ten from their previous seasons.
Shiffrin was at the top-30 when she won her first gold medal in Sochi in 2014. She has been in top-20 in all of her events since.
This Beijing event saw several of the best downhillers in the world compete. It will be fascinating to see how this competition unfolds. Ester and Michelle Gisin will likely be the top 3, along with Sofia Goggia.
The top-four finishers in the race will then move to the slalom portion of the event. It will be a little different than in the 2018 PyeongChang Games, where the top 30 downhillers went in reverse order for the slalom.
Corinne Sueter of Italy is in the running for the gold. She won the super-G and downhill gold medals at these Olympics (2019 and 2021), and she was also the world champion last year.
