FILE - Mikaela Shiffrin, of the United States, skis down after falling the women's combined slalom at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Thursday, Feb. 17, 2022, in the Yanqing district of Beijing. Shiffrin isn't putting the same pressure on herself for the upcoming world championships, starting on on Feb. 6, 2023 in Courchevel and Meribel, France, that she did for last year's Beijing Olympics. The event is Shiffrin's first major championship since American skier didn't win a medal and didn't finish three of her five races at the Olympics. (AP Photo/Luca Bruno, File)
