Drama in Killington: Shiffrin falls! Health worries fans!

Shock at the Ski World Cup in Killington: The great hope Mikaela Shiffrin falls on the way to her 100th World Cup victory!

She had to be transported away immediately in the Akia after being treated on the slopes for a long time. These dramatic scenes caused great horror among the approximately 20,000 fans, but Shiffrin quickly let out a sigh of relief and waved to the audience how Today.at reported.

Health status and reactions

The 29-year-old is currently undergoing medical treatment and is awaiting a health update. The US Ski Association initially held back on providing information, but posted a reassuring message on Twitter: "If it's any reassurance, she asked about her split times!" These appear to be positive signs, although the exact severity of the injuries is still unclear. Shiffrin's fall overshadowed the award ceremony, which took place after the race in a rather depressing context, while Sweden's Sara Hector celebrated her sixth World Cup victory, but could hardly celebrate given the tragic incident involving the star The press.

The conditions of the race were challenging for many athletes. Several ÖSV runners also had to give up early after having difficulties in the unfamiliar snow conditions. The Austrian Ricarda Haaser was the only one to collect points with an 8th place. Meanwhile, the victories of Hector and Croatian Zrinka Ljutic caused mixed feelings among fans who had hoped for a better performance from the local ski aces.
