WATCH: Mikaela Shiffrin suffers nasty fall in Killington while attempting to win her 100th World Cup race

Mikaela Shiffrin crashed during her second giant slalom run in Killington, Vermont after taking the lead in her first run. The American was attempting to become the first alpine skier in history to win 100 World Cup races.

Shiffrin posted the fastest time of 55.78s during her first run and was 0.32 seconds clear of second-placed Sara Hector. She was the last to ski on the last run and was very close to winning her 100th race when she lost her balance and seemingly clipped a gate.

The 29-year-old tumbled and slid sideways before crashing into the safety netting on the side of the hill near the finish line. She didn't finish the run and stayed down for several minutes as safety personnel checked on her.

While her health status wasn't immediately known, Shiffrin wasn't able to untangle herself from the net and needed help. As per a report by Noah Cierzan of MyNBC5, she was carted off the slopes on a sled afterward.

The race was eventually won by Hector, who secured her first World Cup win of the season in a combined time of 1:53.08. Killington has been one of the American's favorite venues, as she has won six times there. The two-time Olympic champion had a three-tenth of a second lead after her first run and claimed the conditions felt 'spectacular'.

"The course and the conditions are really spectacular," she said between runs. "It’s pretty straightforward. There may be some spots on the hill with a few stones that are surfacing as people ski. Some of the skiers they look fine, fine and then their ski slips out," Mikaela Shiffrin said (via USA Today).

However, it wasn't meant to be meant to be for the 29-year-old this time as ski fans around the globe hope her condition is okay.
