Two-time Olympic gold medal skier Mikaela Shiffrin recounted her dramatic World Cup crash, describing one of her injuries Sunday as a "stab wound."
The crash at the Stifel Killington Cup in Vermont on Saturday resulted in "severe muscle trauma," according to the organization, which runs the U.S. Olympic ski team.
Ski Team said in a statement Sunday on Instagram, attributed to "Team Shiffrin," that she can't "walk well" but is grateful no damage was found in organs, bones or ligaments.
Shiffrin won her 99th World Cup event on Nov. 23 in Gurgl, Austria.
Last year she matched and then passed fellow American Lindsey Vonn's record number of World Cup wins, 83, becoming what Olympics organizers described as "the most successful female alpine skier in World Cup history."
