Shock in Cortina: Mikaela Shiffrin after a brutal fall in the hospital!

In a dramatic competition on the "Olimpia Delle Tofane" in Cortina d’Ampezzo, the American skiing nuclear Mikaela Shiffrin had a hard time. After a failed jump, the 28-year-old crashed into the fence with full force. Seconds after the accident, the rescue workers hurried to take care of the record World Cup winner. Despite the pain, Shiffrin succeeded in limping on her ski cocks to the edge of the slopes, where she was finally brought to a clinic with the helicopter when the suspicion of a knee injury was suspected. Fortunately, the first studies showed that both the front and the rear cruciate ligament were intact, as reported by their team.

While the competition was initially interrupted, Shiffrin reported in the WhatsApp group of her teammates in the WhatsApp group with encouraging words: "It's all fine, ladies. The underground is great, you can do it!" Her words came at a time when several drivers, including Federica Brignone and Corinne Suter, also plunged. The situation on the demanding route was dangerous; Kira Weidle explained that the changed conditions with more jumps and waves brought great challenges.

Sturtz and the course of the season

Just a few days earlier, at the World Cup race in Killington, Shiffrin scored an impressive time in the first run, but had to give up early after a slip in the next goal. Her teammate Hector celebrated her sixth World Cup victory under the dramatic circumstances, while Shiffrin's fall in the target area left a sad mood. "It breaks my heart to see Mikaela like this," said Hector.

In the middle of all of these accidents, the falls in the current skiing season won in weight, since several athletes, including Aleksander Aamodt, had suffered serious injuries. The pressure on the athletes is enormous and the conditions on the routes demanded their toll. Now it remains to be seen whether Shiffrin can soon recover from her injuries and whether she will take her status as a favorite in slalom in the upcoming competition in Killington. As Eurosport reported , the ski season continues to be overshadowed by severe falls and injuries.
