Video: Mikaela Shiffrin Provides Injury Update After Crashing During World Cup Run

Mikaela Shiffrin provided an injury update on Saturday after a nasty crash into the protective fencing during her second run of a World Cup giant slalom race.

In a video released on social media, the star skier said there was "not really too much cause for concern at this point" and that "all scans so far are clear," but that she had a "pretty good abrasion."

Shiffrin was attended to for some time on the course by medical staff after flipping and crashing into the protective fencing during the giant slalom race.

"It's just so sad, of course, to see Mikaela crash like that and skiing so well," Sara Hector—who ultimately won the event with a time of one minute and 53.08 seconds—said on the broadcast. "It breaks my heart and everybody else here."

Shiffrin was leading the pack after her first run by a 0.32-second margin and suffered her injury just five gates away from the finish.

The 29-year-old Shiffrin has not dealt with an excess of injuries during a career that has included two Olympic gold medals, five World Cup titles and seven world championships, though this year has now included two injuries.

In January, she dealt with a sprained MCL and tibiofibular ligament in her left knee. It was the first significant injury for the star skier since 2015 when she tore her MCL and dealt with bone bruising in her right knee. In both circumstances, surgery wasn't required.

It's also rare that Shiffrin doesn't finish races, with only 19 DNFs in 275 World Cup starts. Saturday's injury will keep her out of her best event, the slalom, on Sunday.
