American star skier Mikaela Shiffrin is set to miss this weekend’s World Cup event in St. Moritz. 

The 25 year-old missed training for speed events during the coronavirus pandemic and will therefore not take part in the two super-G races.

The three-time overall World Cup champion will instead prepare for the two giant slalom races on December 12-13 in France. 

US Ski Team said in a statement: “Due to travel restrictions associated with COVID-19, opportunities for training speed this summer were non-existent for Americans.”

Shiffrin has not trained for downhill or Super-G since January.

In the season-opening slalom weekend last month, she finished in fifth place which is the first time in almost three years she has missed the podium.
