"It's hard to say when I'll be able to ski again." After her crash in Killington, Mikaela Shiffrin posts on Instagram and gives an injury update. She can sleep in her own bed again and will definitely have to cancel the home races in Beaver Creek.

"It's just nice to be back in my bed," said the 29-year-old. After arriving in her adopted home of Innsbruck, she went straight to the hospital for a check-up. "There were still some concerns, as the stab wounds were near the intestines and we wanted to make sure that everything was okay. Fortunately, the all-clear was given." Shiffrin had suffered serious cuts and puncture wounds in her fall.

It's hard to say when I'll be able to ski again or compete in a race again.

But I will definitely have to cancel for Beaver Creek." But she will be there to cheer on her teammates ...
