Alpine skiing-Knee injury ends World Cup leader Vonn’s season (Reuters)
(Adds quotes, details) March 2 (Reuters) – Overall World Cup leader Lindsey Vonn declared her Alpine ski season, and title hopes, over on Wednesday due to a knee injury. Vonn, who had been chasing a fifth overall title, led Switzerland’s Lara Gut by 28 points in the overall standings after last weekend’s races in Andorra, where she crashed. The decision was one of the toughest of her career but scans had shown a hairline fracture to be more serious and extensive than thought, the 31-year-old American said in a statement.
