ST. MORITZ, Switzerland: American skier Lindsey Vonn appeared to be injured as she crossed the line in the World Cup Super-G at Saint-Moritz and received medical attention on Saturday.
After she finished, Vonn lay down and then struggled to stand up again. Bent over, as if she had pain in the small of her back, 33-year-old Vonn then made her way into a tent reserved for competitors.
Swiss skier Jasmine Flury finished first with compatriot Michelle Gisin in second, one-tenth of a second behind. Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein was third. Vonn recorded the 17th best time.
According to a source close to the American team, Vonn seemed to be suffering from a hip problem.
An ambulance drove up but departed empty and a doctor arrived to examine Vonn.
The American is one of the most successful skiers in history and has made the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang her priority for the season.
Vonn said Thursday she would not go to the White House for a post-Winter Olympics reception, aligning herself with other athletes who have protested against President Donald Trump

Mbappé out of Real Madrid training ahead of Man City game as coach hints at return ‘soon’
- “Obviously, we have to take one day at a time and see how he is evolving,” Arbeloa said
- “But this week has been positive. He’s back giving a good feeling”
MADRID: Kylian Mbappé was not with Real Madrid for training on Tuesday ahead of a crucial Champions League game against Manchester City as coach Álvaro Arbeloa suggested the French striker could return soon.
Mbappé hasn’t played since Feb. 21 because of a knee problem which also ruled him out of Madrid’s win over Benfica in the Champions League playoffs.
“Well, he’s better. Obviously, we have to take one day at a time and see how he is evolving,” Arbeloa said through an interpreter. “But this week has been positive. He’s back giving a good feeling. And we are looking forward to having him back soon.”
Madrid said Mbappé had not trained with the team, along with other injured players, and it would be a major surprise if he plays at home to City on Wednesday. Arbeloa initially suggested last month that he would be back within days.
The uncertainty over Mbappé complicates an already fraught injury situation at Madrid, which also lost midfielder Rodrygo for the rest of the season with a knee injury last week. Jude Bellingham hasn’t played in over a month and also didn’t train with the team Tuesday.
