It's not about a expected competition comeback, but about taking a few easy runs in the slope, announces the 29-year-old on her Instagram account, where she is seen performing exercises in the gym in a video.
It was in American Killington at the beginning of December that Mikaela Shiffrin crashed in the giant slalom competition. She suffered a puncture wound and extensive injuries to her abdominal muscles. Later, she was forced to undergo an operation to clean the wound, which did not heal as it should.
I really had luck, it was just a few millimeters from my colon, said Shiffrin to the Ski Racing website in mid-December.
The American has won 99 World Cup competitions in her career – the most of all time – and has two individual Olympic Games gold medals and seven World Championship gold medals on her merit list.
The winter's big highlight is the World Championship in Austrian Saalbach in February.
