Star U.S. skier Mikaela Shiffrin will be out indefinitely after sustaining an injury Saturday while vying for a historic win at a World Cup event in Killington, Vt.
Shiffrin, 29, was on the second run of the giant slalom competition when she lost control, tumbled to the snow, flipped and slid into the safety netting.
The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team on Sunday shared an update from Shiffrin via X that said no ligament damage was found and that her bones and internal organs “look OK.”
“Her return to snow is TBD and more information will be forthcoming,” the team said.
After the incident, Shiffrin posted a görüntü to social media showing her with an abrasion on her left hip.
“Not really too much cause for concern at this point,” she said in the görüntü. “I just can’t move. I have a pretty good abrasion. Something stabbed me … and so I just can’t move. I’m so sorry to scare everybody.”
