Injured Lindsey Vonn takes 13th in combined

SOLDEU-EL TARTER, Andorra (AP) — Hampered by a fractured left knee, Lindsey Vonn managed to extend her overall World Cup lead by placing 13th in an Alpine combined event on Sunday, while Marie-Michele Gagnon of Canada took the win.

Wearing braces on both knees, the American led the competition after the super-G portion but posted only the 23rd time in the slalom run to finish 1.93 seconds behind Gagnon.

Vonn's main rival for the overall title, Lara Gut of Switzerland, straddled a gate in the slalom and didn't finish, allowing the four-time champion to extend her lead to 28 points.
