KILLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — American skier Mikaela Shiffrin says she suffered an abrasion on her left hip when crashing during her second run of a World Cup giant slalom race.

Shiffrin was going for her 100th World Cup win when she crashed, did a flip and slid into the protective fencing.

The 29-year-old was taken off the hill on a sled and waved to the cheering crowd before going to a clinic for evaluation. She said later in a video posted on social media that there wasn't "too much cause for concern at this point."

She plans to skip the slalom race Sunday, writing on Instagram she will be "cheering from the sideline."
