Shiffrin hopes to be back on the slopes by the end of the year to resume training, but racing will probably have to wait until next year.
The good news is neither injury will require surgery.
Good news from physician visit yesterday- No additional injury from what we already knew. I have bone bruising... https://t.co/pbbfgyUXsp
