Ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin crashed during her second run at a World Cup giant slalom race in Killington, Vermont, and was taken to a medical clinic for evaluation. Shiffrin was leading after her first run and was close to her 100th World Cup win when the crash occurred.
KILLINGTON, Vt. — American ski racer Mikaela Shiffrin was alert and being evaluated for injuries after crashing in her second run of a World Cup giant slalom race Saturday, doing a flip and sliding into the protective fencing.
Reigning Olympic GS champion Sara Hector of Sweden won in a combined time of 1 minute, 53.08 seconds. But her thoughts were instead with Shiffrin. Saturday was shaping up to be a banner day for Shiffrin, who skied flawlessly in her first run and held a 0.32-second lead as she chased after her 100th World Cup win in front of a home crowd. Shiffrin grew up in both New Hampshire and Colorado and sharpened her skills at nearby Burke Mountain Academy.
