Mikaela Shiffrin sustained a puncture wound to the right side of her abdomen and severe muscle trauma following her crash during a giant slalom race in Killington, Vt., the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team said Sunday.
In pursuit of her 100th victory, Shiffrin tumbled into the safety netting and remained down for several minutes. She was taken via sled from the course and then by ambulance to Rutland Regional Medical Center.
“There was no ligament damage assessed. Bones and internal organs look OK,” U.S. Ski & Snowboard team wrote on Twitter.
On Saturday, Shiffrin posted a video to social media to update her fans on her condition. The 29-year-old said she “just can’t move,” adding that she had an abrasion and “something stabbed me.”
Per U.S. Ski & Snowboard Team, a return date for Shiffrin has not yet been determined.
Shiffrin, 29, has won all four slaloms in which she’s competed since returning from a knee injury following a downhill crash in January.
On March 11, 2023, in Are, Sweden, Shiffrin won her 87th World Cup race to break the record held by Ingemar Stenmark of Austria.
