Another skiing accident. Shiffrin injures her knee

Mikaela Shiffrin falls in the second heat and postpones her appointment with history: le 100 World Cup victoriesa goal never achieved by anyone. The American champion, leading the first heat of the Killington giant slalom, perhaps due to too much pressure, in the second part of the decisive descent crashed into a door and ended up in the nets.

Mikaela, in pain, immediately touched her left knee. On the ‘Superstar’ track, victory went to the Swede Sara Hector (1’53″08) ahead of the Croatian Zrinka Ljutic (at 54 hundredths) and the Swiss Camille Rast (at 1″05). Too bad for Federica Brignone. The Italian, seventh after the first heat, in the second, in an attempt to recover positions, had managed to gain an advantage of 62 hundredths in the intermediate stage but at the entrance to the wall she crossed her skis and ended up missing a door. Best Italian Asja Zenere, eighteenth at 3″62. Swiss champion Lara Gut-Behrami was only thirteenth (at 2″84).

“Mikaela was transported by toboggan and is currently being evaluated – wrote the US Ski and Snowboard, the American federation -. There will be more information soon, but take comfort in the fact that she asked about her fractions ( partial, ed.)”. Mikaela Shiffrin fell today about 12 seconds from the finish line of the second heat of the World Cup giant slalom in Killington, Vermont.
