Shiffrin posted an update on Saturday on Instagram while her teammates took on the Birds of Prey course in a women’s downhill race at Beaver Creek. She added in her post: “Biggest bummer right now is that I can’t get up to the finish to watch my teammates race @bcworldcup in person. But I’m watching and cheering on TV!”
