After crashing out of Killington race, Mikaela Shiffrin reacts to teammate Elisabeth Bocock earning maiden World Cup points at the event

Mikaela Shiffrin recently celebrated teammate Elisabeth Bocock's incredible performance at the Killington Cup that saw her secure her maiden World Cup points. The alpine skiing star didn't finish her giant slalom race after suffering a nasty crash during her second run.

Bocock made her World Cup debut last season and was yet to win a point on the circuit before an inspiring finish in Killington on November 30. She finished eighth in her first run and continued with her aggressive style in the second run before clipping a gate and losing one of her poles.

The 19-year-old skied down the second half of her run with just one pole and managed to finish 23rd to earn her first World Cup points. She was awarded eight World Cup points for her 23rd-place finish while the winner, Sara Hector, took 100.

Mikaela Shiffrin was delighted to see her teammate script an inspiring finish and earn her first World Cup points at the Stifel Killington Cup. The two-time Olympic gold medalist reposted a congratulatory post for Bocock by the US Ski and Snowboard team on her Instagram story with party hat emojis.

Shiffrin registered a DNF in her race after crashing into the fencing during her second run. She was leading 0.32 seconds after her first run and was poised to secure the iconic 100th World Cup victory before the unfortunate accident.

Mikaela Shiffrin appeared to have lost her balance seconds away from the finish line before clipping a gate and sliding down into the fencing nets. She stayed down for several minutes before being carted off on a sled.

However, she hadn't suffered any serious damage and all her scans came clear except that she wasn't able to move on her own. The 29-year-old apologized to her fans afterward for scaring them and clarified that she was doing well.

"Hi guys not too much cause for concern right it's just that I just can't move. I have a pretty good abrasion and something stabbbed me under her fingers. It's just so that I can't move. I am so sorry to scare everybody and it looks like all the scans are clear so far," she said on X.

Shiffrin will miss the Slalom race in Killington scheduled on Sunday, December 1, and will have to wait a couple of weeks for her next attempt at the historic 100th World Cup win. If the American recovers in time, she could achieve the mark in front of a home crowd in Beaver Creek, Colorado, scheduled from December 11-15.
