Mikaela Shiffrin lost control after landing a jump on this descent in Cortina d’Ampezzo. The skier currently leading the World Cup finally got up after several minutes.
Hit in the left knee, the American was evacuated by helicopter to be taken directly to hospital. Her injury comes only a week after that of her runner-up, Petra Vlhova, who suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament during her descent to Jasna.
For the moment, she remains at the top of this World Cup (1209 points) followed by Lara Gut-Behrami (789 points) and Federica Brignone (787 points).
