Shiffrin recovering after abdominal surgery to clean out deep puncture wound suffered in race crash

Associated Press  

BEAVER CREEK, Colo. — Mikaela Shiffrin is recovering after undergoing abdominal surgery on Thursday night to clean out a puncture wound she received in a giant slalom crash two weeks ago. The 29-year-old Shiffrin explained in her post Saturday that her surgery was unexpected and came “after feeling a bit under the weather.” She’s been using a wound vacuum to keep the puncture clean. “Turns out I had a little cavity deeper than the wound tract that was filled with old hematoma and wasn’t properly draining with wound vac or normal packing,” Shiffrin wrote. That March, Shiffrin broke Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark’s Alpine mark for most World Cup wins when she captured her 87th career race.
