  • Mikaela Shiffrin has said that she's dealing with a "mental/PTSD struggle" after previously falling in giant slalom.

Mikaela Shiffrin, the American skiing star, is set to return to the giant slalom event in Mont Tremblant, Canada, following a frightening crash during a slalom race in Killington, Vermont. The crash occurred when Shiffrin straddled a gate, causing her to fall and slide down the hill, but she fortunately avoided serious injury. Despite the incident, she has been training and feels ready to compete again, expressing confidence in her physical condition and mental preparedness. Shiffrin, who has won 96 World Cup races, is looking to continue her pursuit of the all-time record of 103 victories held by Ingemar Stenmark. Her return to racing is anticipated with interest, especially after she had to withdraw from a previous giant slalom due to a knee issue, which turned out to be minor.
