By Alan Baldwin ROSA KHUTOR, Russia, Feb 15 (Reuters) – Mikaela Shiffrin is 18-years-old and at her first Winter Olympics but the big U.S. slalom hope says it feels like her 1,000th Games already. Speaking to reporters less than a day after flying in to Sochi, Alpine skiing’s slalom world champion said she had gone through every possible scenario in her mind and was as prepared as she could be. “For everybody, it’s my first Olympics but for me it’s my 1,000th.” Shiffrin has been to Sochi before, spending a week training on the slalom hill last year, and also has experience of big events after her breakthrough at last year’s world championships. While she did not think it was possible to be too prepared for something she has been preparing for all her life, Shiffrin accepted that sometimes she was guilty of overthinking.
