The Podium gets out of the studio and heads to to women's slalom, where (spoiler alert) alpine skiing star Mikaela Shiffrin fails to win a medal in her second event in two days in PyeongChang.

Day 7's episode also takes a hard look at race and winter sports, with Vonetta Flowers, the first black athlete to win a gold medal at the Winter Olympics.
