By Julien Pretot CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Mikaela Shiffrin’s 11th-place finish in Sunday’s giant slalom at the Olympics carried none of the visible anguish that defined her Beijing 2022 campaign,

What happened instead was that Kok turned on the afterburners on the back stretch and left Jackson behind. Kok won gold in an Olympic record 36.49 seconds.
