Mikaela Shiffrin Eyes Return to Skiing After November Injury

The American skiing star is making strides in recovery but her World Cup return remains uncertain.

Mikaela Shiffrin suffered a crash during the Killington Giant Slalom on November 30, resulting in a deep puncture wound near her hip.
The 29-year-old underwent abdominal surgery in mid-December to address complications, including fluid buildup and a torn muscle near her pelvis.
Shiffrin has resumed gym and rehabilitation work, sharing progress updates and expressing hope to make light turns on snow within the next week.
While optimistic about recovery, Shiffrin acknowledges she is not yet ready to ski with full intensity due to pain and fitness limitations.
Her potential return to the World Cup circuit and participation in February's World Championships in Austria remain unclear.
