Mikaela Shiffrin Injured in World Cup Crash, Escapes Major Damage
Mikaela Shiffrin, a five-time overall World Cup champion, suffered a deep abdominal puncture wound and severe muscle trauma during a giant slalom crash, sidelining her from the Killington Cup slalom race. Despite no serious bone, ligament, or organ damage, there's no set timetable for her return. Shiffrin, who has previously recovered from knee injuries, is unable to walk well and will miss the race she has historically dominated, but will support her teammates from afar.
