Mikaela Shiffrin’s first words after her fall in Cortina d'Ampezzo

Mikaela Shiffrin made a post on Instagram and already that è this is a reason for great relief after the very bad fall in the downhill in Cortina d’Ampezzo, which led to fears that she had suffered a serious injury.

Instead, the cruciate of her left knee is unharmed, fortunately, however, there’è not yet a precise diagnosis on the’extent’of the injury, but è she herself to tell us that she will definitely skip the next three World Cup races, and that is; the second downhill and the super-G on the Tofane Olympia tomorrow and the giant in Kronplatz on Tuesday. Here are the words of the Queen of Alpine skiing, quotes are taken from scimagazine.it.

“Thank you all for your support and good wishes,” writes the 28-year-old Colorado outfielder.

At this point I’m taking it day by day, and will share more information or updates as I know more. Very grateful that it didn’t get worse, but I’m pretty sore right now”.

“He won’t be there for the rest of the weekend and he won’t be at Kronplatz. Other than that, è quite difficult to say right now. I need some time to process with my team and see how I feel in the next few days! Thank you all!”.

Then, a thought to her teammates who immediately went to visit her at the’hospital: “And as I said, oh my God…watching the results of our speed team today made me smile so much!!! Congratulations to all, I can't wait to watch the rest of the weekend”.
