What happened

Just seconds from the start of her descent, the skier lost contact with the ground then losing control of the skis and falling disastrously. The long skid led her to collide with the protective nets on the sides of the track. Once she got up, she showed great pain in her left leg limping. In her career, she has never suffered an injury from a fall. Shortly after, Shiffrin was reached by the helicopter that rescued her. In recent days, Kilde had fallen and the American herself had gone to visit him in the hospital, where she found him battered but in good condition.
