Given some of the test we’ve done the past few days and the training that I’ve done and seeing how I’ve reacted to that in the last few days, it’s just too soon to race in Andorra,” Mikaela Shiffrin made this statement few days after her crash. In another recent post Shiffrin revealed that she is spending her time well in the rehab while healing.

Mikaela Shiffrin’s journey post-crashing incident

Recently, Mikaela Shiffrin took it to her Instagram profile and posted a few pictures of her at a Rehab camp to recover from the injuries she faced in the recent incident. Along with the pictures, she penned, “A silver lining— “rehab camp” took us to a place with sand, and if you can’t tell, I LOVE SAND.🐚🤪🤩 (slide 2, sound on🔈).” It seemed that the queen of ice was spending her time well on the sands!

Shiffrin suffered a knee injury after she crashed at the World Cup downhill event in Italy last month. Consequently, this left her with “a sprain of the tibial-fibular ligaments” damage, directing her to undergo rehab until she recovered.

In an exclusive interview with CNN, Shiffrin said, “This one, to be honest, I kind of saw it coming from the air, a little bit,…I was trying to avoid that scenario, but it also happens fast enough there’s not a lot you can do about it. I mean, the forces are high, you’re landing from a jump, the surface, it was rock solid.Fortunately, Shiffrin could escape the crash with minimal possible damage instead of getting her body inflicted because of the accident. However, Shiffrin is not the only one undergoing recovery
