LIVE UPDATES: Shiffrin in GS, Kilde in men's downhill highlight packed day of skiing

It’s shaping up to be a dream day on the slopes for Mikaela Shiffrin and boyfriend Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who could both score Olympic gold on a jam-packed Sunday of Alpine skiing at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Thanks to a weather postponement, Kilde’s men’s downhill – originally planned for Saturday evening – will take place directly in between the first and second runs of the women’s giant slalom, where Shiffrin is the defending gold medalist.

Follow along with the live blog below for to-the-minute updates as the action unfolds across the networks of NBC Universal.
