Alpine skiing | Mikaela Shiffrin announces her return to the World Cup in Courchevel on January 30

Mikaela Shiffrin has recovered from her fall two months ago and told The Associated Press that she plans to compete in the women’s slalom next Thursday at the Alpine Ski World Cup in Courchevel, France.

Shiffrin has been sidelined since suffering a violent fall in giant slalom on Nov. 30 in Killington, Vermont, which left her side punctured and severely bruised her oblique muscles.

The 29-year-old skier is still focused on her progress, rather than getting her 100^e career World Cup victory. She plans to compete in slalom and giant slalom at the Alpine Ski World Championships, which take place next month in Austria.
