The first step is taken, Mikaela Shiffrin It is again an athlete of the ski world cup. Two months after Killington’s injury, he returned to the race in the Courchevel slalom, and concluded the two heats: tenth in the end, two seconds and 4 from the winner, the Croatian Zrinka Ljutic. The American made some mistakes too much, was brilliant only in the second half of the first heat, suffered in the second, but concluded the most important mission: to be on the track after such a serious injury as the perforation of the abdominal muscles , and through this return to find confidence for the Saalbach World Cup in which his tests, giant (uncertain presence) and slalom, will be in the second week. The hundredth victory in the World Cup is postponed to another period, a record that Shiffrin was ready to establish in Killington.
