American skiing legend Mikaela Shiffrin is officially set to make her highly anticipated return to Super-G racing today, Sunday, December 14, 2025, on the iconic Corviglia course in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
The confirmation comes straight from FIS officials, marking the end of a long wait for fans since Shiffrin’s scary crash in a giant slalom at Killington last season. That incident left her with a serious abdominal puncture wound and muscle damage, forcing a prolonged recovery and battles with PTSD. She bounced back spectacularly, clinching her landmark 100th World Cup win in February 2025.
This season, the 30-year-old has crushed the technical events, dominating slalom and giant slalom to build a commanding lead in the overall standings. But she’s been vocal about her love for Super-G, hinting in an October interview that she’d test the waters early in the campaign — no downhill planned, though.
St. Moritz’s demanding track, with its blistering speeds, rhythmic shifts, and tricky turns, is a perfect stage for Shiffrin’s comeback. She’s no stranger to success here, boasting five career wins on the Corviglia course.
Adding extra spice: Shiffrin will race alongside teammate Lindsey Vonn, fresh off a downhill victory yesterday that tied (and potentially surpassed) records. The two U.S. icons sharing the same course — set by their Team USA coach — promises fireworks, especially with the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics looming.
All eyes on Shiffrin as she dives back into speed. Will this spark a multi-event Olympic push? Tune in — this could be epic.
