VAL D’ISERE, France (AP) — Lindsey Vonn pulled out of a World Cup super-G race on Sunday because of a sore knee.
The 33-year-old American did not say which knee hurts, but has injured both before.
She took part in Sunday’s early-morning inspection at the French Alpine resort, but then decided against racing as a precautionary measure and flew home.
Vonn secured her first win of the season and record-extending 78th in Saturday’s super-G on the same Oreiller-Killy course.
“Knee is a bit sore from yesterday so to be on the safe side I’m going to give my body some rest,” Vonn tweeted.
