The final event of alpine skiing is the mixed team parallel slalom competition. This tournament-style competition will feature 15 nations and result in three medals.
The final event will be the mixed team parallel slalom competition. This competition is the only team event, which means it is the only event that is non-individual, and it is a medal event. This event is also the only ski racing event in the Winter Olympics to include both genders.
A total of fifteen nations will compete in the tournament-style competition for a chance to place on the podium, including Team USA’s very own Mikaela Shiffrin, who will be competing in a pair for the U.S. The event was originally supposed to take place on Friday at 9 p.m. EST, however strong winds caused a schedule change.
NBC commentator Mike Tirico addressed the fact that the halfpipe finals took place while the alpine event was postponed. “What we’re hearing is the wind conditions for tomorrow are just as bad in the forecast, so you run out of a window to hold the event,” he said. “The safety of the athletes was paramount there and perhaps a pause would have been called for.”
