Lindsey Vonn withdrew from Saturday's World Cup super-G after crashing and injuring her left knee in a downhill the previous day. She was taken to safety nets, skied to the bottom, and was airlifted for medical attention. The exact nature of the knee injury remained unclear pending further exams. Her personal head coach, Chris Knight, said she was not racing but preparing for the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. Vonn posted that she could not race and thanked supporters. Vonn, 41, is scheduled to race the women's downhill two days after the Games open and remains on track for the Olympics.
