American alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin said that she will compete in the women's downhill – making this her fourth event of the Winter Olympics.
The 26-year-old from Edwards, Colorado, said on social media that the downhill track is "spectacular" and that she has overthought the decision on whether to compete.
"So it's prob time to just point 'em straight and get low," she wrote.
The women's downhill event starts at 10 p.m. EST Monday (11 a.m. Tuesday in Beijing). Shiffrin will be joined by U.S. teammates Alix Wilkinson, Keeley Cashman and Jacqueline Wiles.
