At the 2014 Sochi Olympics, Mikaela Shiffrin won the slalom, but in her only other event, the giant slalom, she finished fifth, Bill Pennington reports on nytimes.com.

"The next Olympics I go to," she said at the time, "I'm sure as heck not getting fifth," Pennington wrote.

On Thursday, Shiffrin's celebrated quest for multiple gold medals at the Pyeongchang Olympics finally began.  And she emphatically lived up to her prophercy with a stirring, authoritative, come-from-behind victory in the giant slalom.
