Olympic Alpine Skiing Schedule 2022: Live Stream, TV Info for Women's Slalom Run

Mikaela Shiffrin will try to bounce back from her crash out of the women's giant slalom with a strong performance in the women's slalom on Tuesday at the 2022 Winter Olympics. 

Shiffrin is ranked second in the FIS World Cup standings in the slalom event, and she has to put the failure from her first event behind her to focus on winning medals throughout the rest of her alpine skiing program. 

The 26-year-old American is expected to go head-to-head with Petra Vlhova from Slovakia for the gold medal in the women's slalom.

Vlhova leads the World Cup standings in the event and has finished in the top two places of every slalom event she entered this season. 

The slalom event is split into two runs, just like the giant slalom, but the two favorites must be strong in both runs to back up their medal potential.

Preview

The women's slalom competition should be billed as a battle between Petra Vlhova and Mikaela Shiffrin.

Vlhova and Shiffrin are the only two winners of the event on the World Cup circuit this season.

Vlhova has five victories and two second-place finishes, while Shiffrin owns two wins and a trio of silver medals. 

Only two other skiers finished in the top two in the seven World Cup events, so it seems unlikely that a surprise gold medalist emerges from the event. 

Vlhova started her Olympics off with a 14th-place finish in the giant slalom, which was won by Sweden's Sara Hector. 

The Slovakian should come into the two slalom runs with more confidence than Shiffrin because she finished her runs in the opening event of the women's alpine skiing program.

Shiffrin did not make it far down the giant slalom course before she crashed out in her gold-medal defense. 

The slalom is the perfect event for Shiffrin to regain her confidence. She won the event as an 18-year-old in 2014 and took fourth in 2018. 

Shiffrin also won the World Championships in the slalom discipline on four occasions, and she finished in the top two in the World Cup slalom standings in nine of the last 10 seasons. 

Shiffrin and Vlhova finished second and third, respectively, behind Katharina Liensberger in the 2021 World Cup slalom standings. 

Liensberger and Wendy Holdener both have one second-place finish and a single third-place mark on the World Cup circuit this season. 

Those two athletes would be viewed as the dark horse gold-medal winners if Vlhova and Shiffrin do not top the standings.
