American Mikaela Shiffrin will not take part in the giant slalom event at the world championships in Austria, saying on Monday that she is not yet mentally ready after her recent return from injury but will now compete in the team combined competition.

Shiffrin missed two months after sustaining a deep puncture wound from a crash at the Killington Cup in November.

Mikaela Shiffrin said she will still race the slalom and team combined at worlds but said she's "not there yet" with giant slalom.
