American star Mikaela Shiffrin says there is “no cause for concern” and was “sorry to scare everybody” after crashing out of the giant slalom in Killington, Vermont.<\/b><\/p>\n

The two-time Olympic champion had been seeking a record-extending 100th World Cup win and looked well placed to reach the milestone before falling and crashing into safety netting on her second run.<\/p>\n

Shiffrin, 29, left the slope on a rescue sled before being assessed at a medical clinic.<\/p>\n

She was leading after the first run and had looked set for victory before the accident.<\/p>\n

“Not really too much cause for concern at this point, I just can’t move. I have a pretty good abrasion and something stabbed me,” she said in a video posted on social media.<\/p>\n

“I am so sorry to scare everybody and it looks like all scans so far are clear, so thank you for the support and concern.”<\/p>\n

She added she would not be taking part in Sunday’s slalom event, which she has won six times out of seven at Killington.<\/p>\n

Sweden’s Sara Hector, the reigning Olympic champion, won Saturday’s giant slalom. <\/p>\n

“It’s so sad of course for Mikaela, a crash like that after she was skiing so well. It breaks my heart,” she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
