Drama in Killington: Shiffrin falls! Health concerns fans!

Killington, USA - shock at the Ski World Cup in Killington: Mikaela Shiffrin's great hope falls on the way to her 100th World Cup victory! The celebrated US star was on the home stretch in the last sections of the giant slalom and led the first round when she unexpectedly lost control and fell violently. She immediately had to be removed with the Akia after being treated on the slopes for a long time. These dramatic scenes triggered great horror in the approximately 20,000 fans, but Shiffrin quickly let the audience breathe and waved to the audience, as state of health and reactions

The 29-year-old is currently in medical treatment and is waiting for a child. The US Ski Association initially held back with information, but published a soothing news on Twitter: "If it calms you down, she asked about her intermediate times!" This seems to be positive signs, even if the exact severity of the injuries is still unclear. Shiffrin's fall overshadowed the award ceremony, which took place in a rather depressed context after the race, while Swedish Sara Hector celebrated her sixth World Cup victory, but could hardly cheer for the Star The press .

The framework conditions of the race were challenging for many athletes. Several ÖSV runners also had to give up early after they had difficulties in the unusual snow ratio. The Austrian Ricarda Haaser was the only one who collected points with an 8th place. In the meantime, the victories of Hector and the Croatian Zrinka Ljutic made mixed feelings among fans who had hoped for better performance of the home ski mass.
