CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin has crashed into the safety nets after landing a jump during a World Cup downhill in Italy. She injured her left leg. The American skier with a record 95 World Cup wins was helped off the course with her left boot raised off the snow. Shiffrin’s team says “initial analysis shows the ACL and PCL seem intact.” Federica Brignone, Corinne Suter and Michelle Gisin also crashed or were injured.
