Carrying hopes to chase her 100th World Cup win at the Killington Cup, Mikaela didn’t know that her participation could end her up in a two-month setback. It was during the second run of the 2024 Women’s World Cup Giant Slalom skiing race where the skier was faced with an unexpected crash during her performance that left her to face a severe abdominal injury.

Giving a detailed description of the incident, Mikaela mentioned suffering an abrasion on the left hip while performing a flip when she felt that something stabbed her while sliding into protective fencing: “Not really too much cause for concern at this point, I just can’t move. I have a pretty good abrasion, and something stabbed me. I’m so sorry to scare everybody. It looks like all scans so far are clear.”

Away from her professional career since the 30 December incident, Mikaela Shiffrin’s comeback is indeed praiseworthy. With her return, her fans have been giving out major support to Shiffrin.

Another fan comments on how the skier was missed to be seen performing on the slopes for a long time. “Awesome! Great progress! So much better to see you out on the slopes!” Making her comeback after two months, Mikaela is currently training on slopes in preparation for her next competition.

Commenting on her skiing video, a fan mentions how Mikaela competes with her identity concealed alongside the people. “Love the incognito outfit! No one has a clue they were getting smoked by the GOAT. And……nice turns.” The skier returned to the slopes, making three successful runs with quite a fun experience to feel again.

The smile at the end of the video, however, left one of her fans awed to see such a celebrated moment from Mikaela. “THAT SMILE!! OUR GOAT IS HEALING.” Going out on the run amid her rehabilitation journey from the major incident of 30 November, the end of the video saw the skier with a big smile coming out satisfied from her three runs on the slopes.

Currently under rehabilitation, the skier’s return comes under highlight with the 2025 World Championships in Saalbach upcoming. The current state of Mikaela Shiffrin’s comeback participation, however, remains a question, with no sort of update made by either her or any of the officials as of now.
