CORTINA DAMPEZZO, Italy (AP) Make that seven straight races without a medal for Mikaela Shiffrin at the Winter Olympics.The American skiing standout was given the ideal platform to win the new team combined event after partner Breezy Johnson led the opening downhill leg on Tuesday. Shiffrin was the last racer out in the slalom the second leg of the event and was 15th, dropping the U.S. to fourth place and extending her Olympic slump that stretches back to 2022 when she didnt win a medal in any of her six races at the Beijing Games.Ariane Raedler and Katharina Huber of Austria won gold, while Paula Moltzan and Jacqueline Wiles took bronze ahead of their more high-profile U.S. teammates.Olympic redemption will have to wait, then, for Shiffrin, who is the most successful World Cup racer of all time with a record 108 victories.
