Her father died a couple of years ago (since the last Winter Olympics). I've noticed that in general she's been a little off. Add into that the enormous amount of pressure to win and the endorsements and interviews. The World Cup calendar is pretty daunting year on year and Shiffrin has been at the top. Just a lot on her plate.
On a similar note Chloe Kim said she took time off and went to Princeton and that the time away helped her refocus on her sport.
