Mikaela Shiffrin suffered a deep puncture wound on the right side of her abdomen and “severe muscle trauma” during her scary crash in a giant slalom race on Saturday but no serious bone, ligament or organ damage.

The five-time overall World Cup champion was sidelined for the Killington (Vt.) Cup slalom race Sunday. There’s no timetable for her return to racing, the U.S. Ski Team said in a statement sent out before the start of the slalom, which was won by Swiss skier Camille Rast for her first career World Cup victory.

Shiffrin was leading after the first run of the GS on Saturday as she chased after her 100th World Cup win. With the finish line in sight on her second run, the 29-year-old leaned into the hill, lost an edge and slid into a gate, flipping head over skis. She then slammed into another gate before coming to a stop in the protective fencing.

Shiffrin stayed down on the side of the course for quite some time. She asked for a sled to take her down, because she “was in shock, entirely unable to move and worried about internal organ trauma,” Shiffrin said in a statement.

She was transported by ambulance to a medical center, where doctors who evaluated her determined she had no ligament damage and that her bones and internal organs “look OK,” according to the statement from the team. She did not receive stitches because the wound is “too deep and there is risk of infection,” Shiffrin explained.

Anna Swenn Larsson of Sweden and Wendy Holdener of Switzerland tied for second, each 0.57 seconds back of Rast. It was the first time in 28 years that two Swiss women finished on a World Cup podium together.

It was Rast’s second World Cup slalom podium in a week. The 25-year-old finished third in a slalom in Gurgl, Austria, last weekend. On Saturday, she earned her first World Cup giant slalom podium with a third-place finish in Killington.

The Killington race was missing two of slalom’s biggest stars in Petra Vlhova of Slovakia and Shiffrin. Vlhova is still recovering from a crash and knee surgery last winter.

“It’s sad because she’s a frigging fast slalom skier,” Larsson said of Shiffrin. “She should be here, but she’s not, and we took the opportunity.

Emily Sweeney and the doubles team of Chevonne Forgan and Sophie Kirkby headlined the best World Cup weekend for USA Luge on a foreign track in nearly nine years.

Sweeney and Jonny Gustafson finished second in the inaugural World Cup mixed singles race in Lillehammer, Norway, while Forgan and Kirkby finished third in the circuit’s first mixed doubles race.

Combined with Saturday’s results — gold for Forgan and Kirkby in women’s doubles and Sweeney’s silver in women’s singles — the Americans left Lillehammer with four medals.

MOTORSPORTS

There were plenty of hazards, including severe penalties, at the Qatar Grand Prix. Max Verstappen steered clear of them all to follow up his Formula 1 drivers’ title with his ninth win of the year.

Lando Norris, Verstappen’s closest title rival until he secured the championship last week in Las Vegas, was trying to overtake the Dutch driver for the lead until he was dropped to the back of the field by a penalty for failing to slow for yellow warning flags.

Verstappen, who secured his fourth consecutive title in Las Vegas last week, has won two of the last three races but hadn’t won in dry conditions since June.

Verstappen disposed of another rival off the line, beating George Russell into the first corner. The Mercedes driver had been elevated to pole position in Verstappen’s place after a contentious dispute in qualifying that got Verstappen a one-place penalty for driving too slowly.

Charles Leclerc finished second for Ferrari and Norris’ McLaren teammate Oscar Piastri was third.

GOLF

Unheralded American Ryggs Johnston won his first pro title, closing with a 4-under 68 at Melbourne’s Kingston Heath for a three-shot win in the Australian Open.

The Arizona State alum was among three players to earn a spot in the British Open.

Jiyai Shin captured her second Women’s Australian Open. The men’s and women’s tournaments were played concurrently for separate trophies and the same total purse.

Johnston, 24, from Montana, turned pro only five months ago and recently earned a European tour card through Q-school. He won by three shots over Curtis Luck and became the first American to win the Stonehaven Cup since Jordan Spieth in 2016.

Marc Leishman (69), who plays on the LIV Tour, and fellow Australian Jasper Stubbs (70) were tied for third at 14-under 273. Luck and Leishman also earned spots in the British Open next year at Royal Portrush.

Peter Uihlein closed with a 3-under 69 for a five-shot win in the International Series Qatar, his second title this year on the Asian Tour. The win put Uihlein, who has been with LIV Golf since it began in 2022, atop the International Series ranking. Former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel (68) finished second.
