Lindsey Vonn failed to finish the super-G race in her return to the Alpine World Ski Championships on Thursday in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria.
According ESPN, Vonn hooked a gate with her arm, halting her momentum and rendering her unable to complete her run.
Vonn waved to the crowd after the mishap as she made her way down the hill, and she suggested later that she avoided injury, saying: "I am OK. I hit my nerve somehow and I hit the gate and lost feeling in my arm, but it's coming back slowly.
