Shiffrin is in Colorado recovering from a back injury, which she brought to Sölden. He wants to jump into the SP carousel in Levi, Finland, at the end of November, where two slaloms will go there.

“Preparing for the events is too demanding, so Lech was not even planned,” Day said. The coach also said that the health of his ward is improving:

“It simply came to our notice then. Unfortunately, there were problems when we tried to train shortly after the Sölden race. Since then, she only rehabilitated and tried to ski, but it didn’t work. “
