Mikaela Shiffrin to Miss Beaver Creek Races After Injury in Killington Crash

The skiing star is recovering from abdominal trauma and a puncture wound sustained during her pursuit of a historic 100th World Cup victory.

Mikaela Shiffrin suffered a puncture wound and severe muscle trauma in a crash during the giant slalom race in Killington, Vermont, last weekend.
The injury, which caused significant damage to her oblique muscles, has ruled her out of the upcoming World Cup races in Beaver Creek, Colorado, on December 14-15.
Shiffrin underwent medical checks to confirm that her colon, initially feared to be at risk, remains intact despite the proximity of the puncture wound.
The crash occurred during Shiffrin’s second run while she was leading the race and chasing her landmark 100th World Cup victory.
Shiffrin, who has already surpassed the previous record of 86 World Cup wins, expressed gratitude for avoiding more severe injuries and plans to support her teammates during the Colorado races.
