I was worried that I might not be able to return this season, but Michaela Chiflin is ready for racing.
Shifrin returned to the World Cup Circuit to be held next Thursday in Coolshuber, France next Thursday, after a serious injury in a collision during a large rotation race in Killing Ton, Vermont. I was planning to do so, and we approached 9 weeks left. The rotation is the last technical race before the World Championships, which will be held in Zarbach, Austria from February 4 to 16.
Shifrin’s next victory is the 100th win of her career. She has won seven championships in Cool Shewel, including two championships in rotation.
On Thursday morning, Shifrin went to the gym and announced using his videos back on the snow. The last frame states, “Cool Shewel 1/30 … let’s meet again.”
“I was a little worried if I could return this season, but I was able to run on the snow, and I was able to train a little last week,” he said in an interview with the newspaper. Today’s show.
He said that Chiflin was not 100 % yet, probably the rest of the year would fight the injury. However, she had no pain anymore and was able to do “intense skiing” during Monday GS training. It gave her again the confidence in the race.
“I was worried about what would happen because this crash happened during GS. I thought about the effect of returning to GS start, but I didn’t know what it would look like. It was very good.” She said. “The next step is the race. That is the next step in this recovery. In other words, the recovery is not over yet, but there is enough power to return to the start gate.”
Shifrin, who won two wins in the first three races of the year, is one of her favorite venues, one of her favorite venues, two hours by car from Burke Mountain Academy, which I attended when I was a teenager. It was expected to win the 100th victory. After the first run of the large rotation, everything went as planned and led Swedish Sarah Hector with plenty of time.
However, in less than 15 seconds to the second run goal, Cheflin lost its dominance. She crashed into a gate, turned to another gate, and stopped on a safety net. After spending about 20 minutes on the hill, she was dropped off.
“Speaking of muscle trauma, there was a stab wound, and basically stabbed there was a little dancing in the oblique muscles, basically tearing the cavity in the oblique muscles. It is bleeding and inflammation. It is just a pain, “said Shifrin on December 4.
Shifrin also stated that there was concern that the puncture was caused near the colon and had some bubbles, causing damage to the colon. However, a test after returning to Colorado revealed that there was no problem.
“I wish I had the symptoms earlier, but I’m glad I could confirm it,” she said.
Shifrin had surgery again on December 12 to clean the wound.
Shifrin said that it would take several weeks to return to the race at the time of the accident. She missed the rotation performed in Killing Ton the day after the accident, and missed the participation of the World Cup on December 14th and 15th, and the women’s players are the first famous Birds. We raced on the Ob -Play course.
She has missed the six races of the World Cup rotation and the rotation of the World Cup since the beginning of the year, and is likely to be out of this year’s comprehensive title. She is now 16th in the overall ranking and 9th in the rotation ranking.
Nevertheless, she tried to relieve expectations, but just being able to participate in the race again was a victory.
“I haven’t skied for the last seven weeks,” she said. “I am back in the world’s best athletes and the World Cup players and strive not to lose. They are skiing and in the best state. Is back from the ski. ” “
