Olympian U.S. Skier Mikaela Shiffrin Suffers Injury During Race: 'I Was Impaled'

Olympian Mikaela Shiffrin, a prominent U.S. skier, experienced a severe injury during a race in Italy when she crashed into the safety nets at high speed, resulting in her being "impaled" by one of the net's poles. This incident occurred during a downhill training session in Cortina d'Ampezzo, where Shiffrin was attempting to secure her 96th World Cup victory. Despite the dramatic nature of the crash, initial medical assessments indicated that she had not sustained any major injuries, though she reported feeling "impaled" and was in considerable pain. Shiffrin was taken to a local clinic for further evaluation, and while she was able to move all her limbs, the full extent of her injuries was not immediately clear. This event has raised concerns about her participation in upcoming races, including the World Cup Finals in Saalbach, Austria.
