Winter Olympics 2026 live updates: Day 9 latest as Mikaela Shiffrin misses out on a medal again after giant slalom

What a stunning second run from Federica Brignone and what an Olympic Games she is having!

The Italian puts together a sensational trip to set the bar again, posting a final combined time of 2 minutes 13.50 seconds — more than six-tenths ahead of Sweden’s Sara Hector and Norway’s Thea Louise St Jernesund, who will share silver.

That completes a brilliant double for Brignone, who also took the super-G title and is doing all this after a horrible crash and surgery in April.

U.S. hope Mikaela Shiffrin will finish as the top American but outside the top 10, while Sofia Goggia had hopes of troubling the medal places but currently sits 10th, 0.87 seconds behind her compatriot and the gold medalist.

The event is still going on as the final skiers complete their second runs, but none of them will trouble these final medal positions.
