Mikaela Shiffrin fights back: No commitment to team combination!

Courchevel, Frankreich - The exciting return of Skistar Mikaela Shiffrin is the focus of the global ski interest! After her dramatic fall during the Stifel Killington Cup at the end of November, the 29-year-old fought with a serious belly injury and muscle trauma, who put her career on hold for two months. Last Thursday, she celebrated her comeback at the World Cup slalom in Courzevel and took 10th place there, which is a promising sign of her recovery. "It was a very important step in my rehabilitation to see how I cut off compared to the best skiers in the world," said Shiffrin, who finished 1: 47.10 and was 2.04 seconds behind the Croatian winner Zrinka Ljutić, as CNN reported.

Although many fans hoped that Shiffrin could compete with Lindsey Vonn in the Ski World Cup team combined in the coming week, the American disappointed her followers by announcing that she would not take part in Instagram. "My team and I take one step after the other to reach 100 % again. This is not an easy task," she said. Instead, she focuses on optimally preparing on the upcoming giant slalom and slalom races of the World Championships, which will take place in Saalbach-Hinterglemm next month, as Laola1 reports.

Shiffrin remains optimistic and is determined to realize her dream of a historic 100th World Cup victory, which she would set 14 victories in front of all other male or female skiers in history. "I have a lot of work in front of me, but I'm glad to be here and look forward to trying to get the best out of me," she added.
