Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova deliver a real time trial. The American and the Slovak still hope to be there during the Worlds which will begin on February 4 in Saalbach.
Shiffrin’s situation comes with many question marks. There is still no specific timetable for a return. His case is reassessed day after day. “World championships remain the goal“, declared Atomic race director Christian Höflehner on the sidelines of the Flachau slalom, where Camille Rast and Wendy Holdener scored a magnificent double.
Shiffrin not yet training for the race
Shiffrin again does different exercises on the track, “but she’s not training for the race yet. It was and still is difficult to calculate with this injury, because we have few examples of comparison.“
The five-time winner of the big Crystal Globe had fallen at home in the Killington giant, while she was on her way to her 100th World Cup victory. Probably from one of his sticks, she had suffered a real stab wound to the abdomen and muscle damage in the pelvis area. She had to be operated on again in mid-December.
