Shiffrin on her comeback: “It was pretty exhausting”
Exactly two months after her Killington crash, including deep cuts to her stomach, Mikaela Shiffrin celebrated her comeback at the Courchevel slalom on Thursday. Her analysis shortly before the World Championships was mixed. In fact, she even doubts whether she will start together with Lindsey Vonn ...
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "The race showed us what we still need to work on in the remaining time until the World Championships," said the US American after finishing 10th in an interview with ORF, "it was very challenging conditions, but it was good to see how high the level of the competition is."
In the end, Shiffrin was more than two seconds behind winner Zrinka Ljutic: "I saw different intensity in my turns and a few mistakes - and it was pretty exhausting. I don't know if I'll manage to be 100 percent fit by the World Championships," Shiffrin continued.
"If she saw that today..."
The new team combined is just twelve days away. Lindsey Vonn wants to cause a sensation with Shiffrin. But "Mika" has reservations after her Courchevel comeback. "If she saw that today, I don't know if she wants to do it now," laughs the 99-time World Cup winner. Because time is pressing!
Shiffrin: "I have to train for the RTL and slalom. I don't know if it will work out with the team combination. We also have other good skiers, but if it works out, I'll be happy to race."
In any case, her start in the RTL in two weeks' time is fixed, with the slalom two days later.
