Anabelle Zurbay finished 48th in the women's slalom as her debut Winter Olympics came to an end this afternoon.
Zurbay posted times of 56.91 seconds and one minute 1.59 seconds to make up her total of 1:58.50.
Just 53 competitors completed the course, with the 17-year-old needing a good recovery to complete her second run.
It marks a creditable performance for the teenager given her age and the difficulty of conditions in Milan-Cortina, with over 40 not finishing.
Zurbay reflected on the challenge of the day and the event overall: "I feel really good. It definitely wasn't exactly the last one was what I was hoping for, but I’m honestly really happy to just make it down to the finish line and say that I finished all of my runs, which I feel like that’s a bit difficult in slalom for sure.
"This one was super turny and it was a bit more of a divot for sure. So it’s hard. I started off strong and then I don’t know what happened, but I caught my ski and almost face planted, but I saved it and pulled it together.
"I knew if I made it to the finish, that was my ultimate goal."
The experience has been overwhelmingly positive, according to Zurbay: "It’s been pretty overwhelming, but it’s a really great experience just to be here and just able to ski. Definitely.
"I think just the whole thing has been a highlight, honestly. The village, really great training into Bormio and then pushing out of the start here, it’s all been insanely amazing."
US great Mikaela Shiffrin won gold in what was her first Olympic medal since 2018 in the final Alpine ski race of the Games, posting a combined time of 1:39.10.
Switzerland's Camille Rast took silver and Sweden's Anna Swenn Larsson bagged the bronze.
The most successful World Cup skier of all time dominated the first run and did not hold back in the second either as she beat Rast by a combined 1.5 seconds.
Shiffrin was the overwhelming favourite after winning seven of eight World Cup slaloms this season but the lack of medals after two events, along with a blank in Beijing four years ago, had ramped up the pressure.
The 2014 Olympic slalom champion made clear it was back to business right from the outset, leading by 0.82 after the first run.
Germany's Lena Duerr was the sole skier to come within a second of her time in that run, but her hopes evaporated in a split second on the decisive leg after she straddled the first gate out of the hut.
Sweden's Cornelia Oehlund had been third after the first run, albeit a second off the pace, but she too was unable to convert that into a medal after breaking a ski pole and failing to finish
