Results of the women's downhill olympics
The Olympic Games' women's downhill is a favorite event. The race is usually contested by some of the greatest skiers in the world. It often includes grueling competition. It is also known for producing some of most memorable Olympics finishes, such as a win by Lindsey Vonn back in Sochi 2014.
With a new world-class venue and a more competitive field than usual, it was expected to be a tough competition. It has been proven correct.
Sofia Goggia, the Olympic gold-medalist, was strong in the downhill. However she fell short. In the end, she was fourth behind Nadia Delago of Italy and Anastasiia Shmirnova of Russia.
Sweden's Walter Wallberg won the gold medal in the men’s moguls. The event saw three country athletes finish within the top 10. Mikael Kingsbury of Canada earned silver and Ikuma Horishima from 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.
While she's only been able to ski in two of her five individual events so far, she's regained some confidence after a solid performance last week in the super-G. This will help her prepare to compete in the combined, which is where she is a favorite for a medal.

There were 30 remaining skiers after the first round. Next, they had two finals rounds. One was from 20 to 12. The other was from 12-12.
This is quite a brutal progression. But, it's an interesting one to watch because it weeds out weaker competition.
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 interesting to note that all four have been in the top-30 in their respective events on the World Cup this season, though Soar and Giaccio were in the top-ten in their previous seasons.
Shiffrin was compared to this when she won the second gold medal at Sochi 2014 and has been in her top-20 in every other event she has participated in.
Several of the world's best downhillers competed in this event in Beijing, so it will be interesting to see how the competition plays out. Ester Ledecka and Michelle Gisin are likely to be the top three, along with Sofia Goggia.
The race's top four finishers will move on to the slalom section. It will be somewhat different than in 2018 PyeongChang Games where the top 30 downhillers ran in reverse for the slalom.
Corinne Suter from Italy is another contender for the gold. She holds two gold medals in super-G and downhill from the Olympics (2019, 2020) and was last year's world champion.
