Nearly two months after a horrific fall in Cortina, Mikaela Shiffrin is back on Earth. The comeback couldn't be better.
The American won the slalom in Ari and took his 96th World Cup victory with it. Not only did she win the race, but she also won her eighth overall Cup Slalom win.
“It was very important for me to drive well again this season to finish the season on a positive note,” said Shiffrin after the win.
Many people were surprised that the Alpine queen was in such good condition after almost two months of competition. Michelle Gisin – who finished third behind Shiffrin and Zrenka Liutic – was amazed:
-I didn't think Michaela would come back this strong. “But this is wonderful and very important for our sport,” she said, according to the report. look.
Her friend Alexander Aamodt Kjeld also did not hide his opinion about the performance. In X came out.
– Oh, my God. Some of the best skiing I've seen is from Michaela. I can not believe that.
In an interview, Shiffrin revealed that she did not know if she would participate in the race a week before the race. She told Blake:
– I had to constantly think day after day. If I had seen it less than a week earlier I would have been horrified.
