Kirsty Muir shows confidence after injury comeback

Freestyle skier Kirsty Muir expressed optimism about her future in the sport after recovering from a knee injury. The 20-year-old Scottish athlete has shown promising results since her return, including winning her first World Cup competition in France this month. Muir competed in the FIS Freeski World Championships in Switzerland, finishing sixth in ski slopestyle. This performance has boosted her confidence as she looks ahead to the Winter Olympics in Italy next year. "I just need to believe that I can do it," Muir told BBC Scotland. She mentioned the importance of focusing on her present performance instead of getting distracted by future outcomes. Muir also appreciates the support from her coaches, who have helped her regain her competitive mindset. She plans to compete in the big air event at the World Championships later this week. After a difficult year recovering from her injury, Muir is pleasantly surprised by her progress and results. Looking back on her injury, Muir said it has made her appreciate skiing even more. She sees her comeback as a new chapter, jokingly referring to herself as "Kirsty Muir 2.0." Overall, she is excited to be back on the slopes and enjoying the sport she loves.
