“It still takes a lot to be ready to ski with intensity, both from the point of view of pain and my physical condition, but I am happy to be here at the beginning of the year 2025”, added the champion in a video showing how he works on his physical condition. Shiffrin, 29, has not appeared in competition since the injury, leaving doubts as to whether she will actually be able to return to competition this winter. In Killington, Shiffrin was chasing her 100th World Cup victory when she fell, suffering a serious muscle injury and a stomach injury to the oblique abdominal muscles probably affected by the hooking of a safety net. The double Olympic champion has won two races this winter and, despite her long absence, is still eighth in the overall World Cup ranking (245 points) 106 points behind Swiss leader Camille Rast.
