Slalom queen Shiffrin ready for upcoming return to racing (The Associated Press)

Mikaela Shiffrin even admits to feeling ”jittery” as she prepares to throw herself back into World Cup racing on Monday in Crans-Montana, Switzerland – her first race since tearing a ligament in her right knee in December. ”I’m feeling good, a little tired from traveling, but good,” Shiffrin said in a phone interview with The Associated Press on Friday. Shiffrin, who turns 21 next month, won two slaloms this season – both in Aspen, Colorado, and both by big margins – before a training mishap in Sweden two months ago interrupted her season.
