Alpine skiing-Vonn shrugs off injury to extend World Cup lead (Reuters)
Lindsey Vonn, skiing with a knee brace to protect a hairline fracture, extended her World Cup lead on Sunday with 13th place in the Soldeu combined event in Andorra. On Saturday, Vonn, who is seeking her fifth overall World Cup title, was carried off the slope on a sled after crashing out of the Soldeu super-G race. An X-ray examination showed a hairline fracture in her left knee.
