  • Shiffrin said Monday she was thankful to avoid worse after her fall Saturday during the giant slalom at a World Cup event in Vermont.

Mikaela Shiffrin, the star skier, has been sidelined indefinitely due to a knee injury she sustained while attempting to secure her 100th World Cup victory. The incident occurred during a downhill race in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, where she crashed into the safety nets after losing control. Shiffrin, who has dominated the skiing world with 97 World Cup wins, was visibly in pain and was airlifted off the course for immediate medical attention.
