Poisoned arrows in the US team
Vonn on Shiffrin’s no: “I’m not surprised”
Lindsey Vonn actually wanted to pair up with Mikaela Shiffrin in the first team combined on Tuesday at the World Ski Championships in Saalbach. The offer had been on the table for weeks. But on Monday, the slalom queen opted for world champion Breezy Johnson. Vonn reacted immediately and disappointedly via X.

Offer rejected
A small side blow against Shiffrin, as Vonn had already offered to partner her a month ago - but apparently received no response. It was only on Monday that "Mika" announced via Instagram that she would be competing with her long-time friend, downhill world champion Breezy Johnson.
Vonn has apparently been paired with AJ Hurt by the US federation. But the 40-year-old returnee is looking forward to competing with AJ, "a wonderful young athlete", said Vonn, who made her comeback to ski racing at the end of last year.
