Sölden wins victory and injuries: Shiffrin misses World Cup race – Športky.sk

COLORADO – American skier Mikaela Shiffrin will miss Saturday’s parallel World Cup competition in the Austrian resort of Lech / Zürs. This was confirmed to the AFP agency by its coach Mike Day. The winner of the opening event of the season, a huge slalom in Sölden, wants to heal her injured back. Slovak skier Petra Vlhová also informed about the non-participation in Lech on Monday, so she will not defend the triumph in the Austrian resort a year ago.

Shiffrin is recovering in Colorado from a back injury she suffered in 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.” said Day. The coach also said that the health of his ward is improving: “It’s progressing in a positive way. Unfortunately, there have been problems when we tried to train shortly after the Sölden race. Since then, she has only rehabilitated and tried to ski, but it has not worked.”
