Mikaela Shiffrin’s return unknown after MCL tear

Olympic slalom champion Mikaela Shiffrin doesn’t know when she’ll return to skiing after she suffered an MCL tear in her right knee in a warm-up crash Saturday, according to her social media.

“No additional injury from what we already knew,” was posted on Shiffrin’s social media. “I have bone bruising and an MCL tear. I know lots of people are anxious to predict when I might return to skiing and then racing, but we just don’t have any crystal balls. I will work as hard as possible, take it week by week and keep everyone updated.
