Thanks for sharing this.

The fall the commentator referred to at 3:19, Diggins injured a hip and bruised ribs. Made it difficult to breathe and double pole, remainder of the Tour.

In the [cycling] Tour de France, 21 stages, the leaders can sit in the pack on a flat stage and recover while the sprinters fight it out. The Tour de Ski, you can't have a bad stage or mail it in one day and hope to be on the podium. More elevation gain per mile on Alpe Cermis than the Climb to the Castle.

CNN —
US skiing superstar Mikaela Shiffrin – the most successful skier of all time – was taken by ambulance to a local clinic following a crash in the women’s downhill event in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, on Friday.

The American was midway through her run when she lost control and flew into the nets surrounding the slope.

Shiffrin, 28, was seen limping away from the run, using her skis to support her as she made her exit surrounded by medical staff.

The US Ski & Snowboard Team posted an update to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Shiffrin’s health.

“Mikaela Shiffrin was taken by ambulance to the clinic in Cortina and is being evaluated for a left leg injury. Initial analysis shows the ACL and PCL seem intact. Further details to come,” the team posted.

Shiffrin responded to the post, saying, “Thank you all for your support,” as well as congratulating the rest of her teammates for their success.

CNN has reached out to representatives of Shiffrin for comment.
 
I think I cursed her. I was just thinking about her boyfriend and how she's never really been hurt (to my knowledge) and was hoping she could escape it.

I wonder if her guy's crash got in her head.


Fuçk the down hill Mikaela, bag it.

She tweaked a knee earlier this season then came back and won some.
Hope she heals well.

Downhill racing is tough. Tough on skis too.
