SAALBACH-HINTERGLEMM, Austria — Mikaela Shiffrin is not going to pair with Lindsey Vonn in a dream team at the Alpine skiing world championships. Shiffrin has announced that she needs more time for training as she regains her form from a deep puncture wound and won't be entering the new team combined event at worlds. Vonn returned to the circuit this season at age 40 after nearly six years of retirement and had been campaigning for a spot alongside Shiffrin in the event. The race involves one squad member racing downhill and another racing slalom. The times of the two athletes on each team are added together to determine the results.
