She opened up about the possibility of competing at the 2026 Olympics in the Milano Cortina Games, stating that she was okay if she didn't earn a spot and if some other skier performed better than her."So I love it, and even if I don't race it at the Olympics, it's not out of the cards for me as a whole. Maybe it's just one of those things that the timing doesn't line up. One thing about the Games that I'm always really aware of, and especially this year, because we have an incredible (U.S.) team of athletes, multiple medal contenders. I don't want to be taking a spot that I don't earn and deserve to be there. So I'm fully OK letting go of that -- when the time comes -- if that is how it rolls," Shiffrin said.
