“Hi everyone, I wanted to let you all know that I’m doing well, but unfortunately I had a positive COVID test. I am following protocol and isolating, and I will miss Lienz. Best of luck to my teammates…I’ll be cheering for you from afar. Thank you all for your support. I’ll see you in the new year.” –Mikaela Shiffrin
