"Fans have been waiting for Mikaela Shiffrin's return to Super-G racing following her crash at Killington, Vermont, last year. It has now been confirmed that the world's most successful World Cup skier will, in fact, be competing in the Super-G at St. Moritz tomorrow, Sunday, December 14. A FIS official confirmed to SnowBrains that Shiffrin has been officially registered for the race, marking a notable return to the speed discipline."
"While leading the Giant Slalom and chasing her 100th career World Cup win, Shiffrin lost an edge and tumbled through gates before coming to a stop in the catch fencing. She suffered a deep puncture wound to her right abdomen and severe muscle trauma, but was fortunate to escape without major ligament or organ damage. The injury sidelined her briefly before she returned to competition and ultimately went on to secure her historic 100th World Cup victory in February 2025, after a pro-longed recovery period."
Mikaela Shiffrin will compete in the Corviglia Super-G at St. Moritz on Sunday, December 14, after official registration by FIS confirmed her entry. Her return to Super-G follows a serious crash at Killington that produced a deep puncture wound to her right abdomen and severe muscle trauma, along with struggles with PTSD. Shiffrin has focused primarily on Slalom and Giant Slalom since the crash, securing multiple wins and reaching her 100th World Cup victory in February 2025 after recovery. Her Super-G start reflects growing comfort with speed training and Olympic ambitions for Milano-Cortina 2026.
