The World Cup leader had to stop working at Copper Mountain. His words to the Associated Press and his willingness not to miss any races (apart from Lech), including the Lake Louise triptych.

An alarm that still does not sound loud, but certainly complicates the plans in a fundamental period of preparation.
Mikaela Shiffrin is seeing her workouts at Copper Mountain conditioned, where she went already in the immediate post-victory of Soelden to devote herself to the sessions on the track from slalom to speed, considering that her program includes a brace between the narrow poles in Levi (20-21 November), the two technical races in Killington (27-28 of the month) and then the triptych between downhill (two) and super-g in Lake Louise.
As explained by the same American champion a few hours ago to the Associated Press, in a video conference from his home in Edwards, participation in this block of World Cup tests is not to be considered in danger, but back problems already accused a year ago before Soelden they were there and prevented Mikaela from training continuously, so much so as to “feel a lot of pain at high intensity, even after just a couple of laps”.
"I haven't skied much since October 23 (day of victory over Rettenbach in the seasonal opening, ed) - the words of the three-time winner of the CdM - I just need to let the problem heal, but I want to train right now and it's frustrating , because this is the period to train on the four disciplines ".
As we had already written, the 26-year-old from Avon would almost certainly not have participated in next Saturday's parallel in Lech / Zuers, returning to Europe only for Levi's slalom. The back problem would be different from that of a year ago, but in some way connected and with which he has lived for some time. "I will have to listen to my body, the only thing in question could be Lake Louise, but I would really like to play those races - Shiffrin added to the AP - I hope in the next 24 hours to be able to do a good workout and not have big problems ".
