Three-time Olympic medalist Mikaela Shiffrin will return to alpine skiing competition next week, the American star announced Thursday on the “Today” show. She’ll compete in the World Cup event in Courchevel, France, where a slalom race is scheduled for Jan. 30, two months to the day after she was injured in a bad fall.

It’s been a demanding and difficult road back for the fast-healing Mikaela Shiffrin, who plans to make her World Cup return next week after being punctured at a Killington, Vermont, race.

Shiffrin made some post-injury turns earlier this month, calling the three mellow laps she made “a successful on-snow test," and, according to the Associated Press, has undergone slalom training amidst her recovery.
