Olympian Mikaela Shiffrin is recovering after suffering multiple injuries during the Alpine Ski World Cup competition.

On Saturday, Nov. 30, while competing during the second run of the World Cup giant slalom race, Shiffrin, 29, sustained a deep puncture wound on the right side of her abdomen and suffered “severe muscle trauma” however there was no serious bone, ligament or organ damage, the Associated Press reported.

Shiffrin was taken down the slope via sled and transported to a medical center via ambulance, according to a U.S. Ski & Snowboard statement shared to X (formerly Twitter) on Dec. 1.

"There was no ligament damage assessed. Bones and internal organs look OK. There is a puncture wound into the right side of her abdomen and severe muscle trauma,” the statement read.

Shortly after the accident, Shiffrin posted a video update to X updating fans on her condition and appeared to be in good spirits despite her injuries.

“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. ... I’m so sorry to scare everybody. It looks like all scans so far are clear,” the Olympic gold medalist said in the video.

She also thanked her fans and cheered on her teammates in the video’s caption, writing “Quick update. Thank you for your cheers and support. Wishing the best of luck to my teammates tomorrow!! I’ll be cheering from the sidelines on this one. 🙏❤️.”

Leading the race after her first GS run, Shiffrin was on track to notch her 100th World Cup win — but she then lost her footing during competition and slid into a gate, flipping over her skis, according to the AP.

Shiffrin slammed into a second gate just before stopping in the protective fencing ski course, the outlet said.

Via statement, the U.S. Ski Team said currently there is no timetable for Shiffrin’s return to competition. Her next competition is scheduled in two weeks at Beaver Creek, Colo., though it is unclear at this time if Shiffrin will be able to compete.

Camille Rast of Sweden was eventually named the winner of the World Cup.

Back in January, Shiffrin suffered a leg injury during a skiing event in Italy after a crash on the slope. The crash occurred midway through Shiffrin's run on the slope, when the two-time gold medalist lost control and crashed into surrounding nets, according to CNN.

The outlet reported at the time that Shiffrin was seen limping and relying on her skis to support her weight as medical officials attended to her after the crash.

Shiffrin has been at the top of the ski world for the last few years, breaking nearly every record possible. In March 2023, she clinched her 87th victory in ski slalom, officially breaking Ingemar Stenmark's record of 86 total wins that he secured in 1989. Soon after, Shiffrin told PEOPLE the accomplishment hadn't yet sunk in. "I don't know how people process things that are so big," Shiffrin said after the win.

"I know everything that I've experienced in life and since I started racing World Cup, I know the whole process and everything that's gone into it, and that really can't be summed up with a number," Shiffrin told PEOPLE.

"I didn't believe it was possible. I still believe it shouldn't have happened, and I don't understand why it did, besides the fact that I've skied well enough for 87 races to win it. But why me, why now, why period, I don't really have an answer for any of those things."
