In May, Mikaela Shiffrin spoke about the mental hurdles she faced after her crash in Killington back in November 2024. Shiffrin was forced to take a break from the slopes before returning to the circuit in Courchevel.

Speaking about this traumatic chapter, Shiffrin shared that she had flashbacks of the crash several times, even a few months after the crash. Shiffrin further opened up about the mental hurdles she faced after the crash and stated (via The Players Tribune):

"I’d be trying really hard to be precise with my training runs, and my body just wouldn’t do what I wanted it to do. Then, at some points, I’d get these random flashes in my mind. These really grim images. I’d be anticipating crashes. I’d see them in my head. See myself falling and going down."

Due to the crash and its subsequent mental hurdles, Shiffrin had to skip the giant slalom race during the 2025 World Skiing Championships. She eventually went on to win the team event during this World event.
