Mikaela Shiffrin didnt hide her disappointment Monday after falling in the giant slalom at the Beijing Winter Olympics . She was disqualified from the event.

I wont ever get over this, she told reporters, per Sports Illustrated .

Shiffrin then reflected on previous mishaps, which have been rare in the two-time Olympic gold medalists sterling career. She completed 30 straight giant slaloms leading up to Beijing, AP noted . Her first Olympics run came to a crushing end in about 11 seconds as she skidded to the slope.

Ive never gotten over any falls, she said. I fell before the last Olympics and I remember thinking that was so heartbreaking. It wasnt even at the Olympics.
