SAALBACH-HINTERGLEMM, Austria — Mikaela Shiffrin says she is dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder following a crash in November and will not defend her gold medal in giant slalom at the Alpine skiing world championships.

Shiffrin says on Instagram that "I really didn't anticipate experiencing so much of this kind of mental/PTSD struggle in GS from my injury in Killington."
