Lindsay Vonn withdraws from skiing World Cup

Two-time Olympic medallist Lindsay Vonn has withdrawn from skiing’s World Cup with a back injury.

The American’s injury comes just two months before the 2018 Winter Olympics. She missed the previous 2014 Games with a knee injury.

Vonn, 33, "compressed her back" on the fifth gate during Saturday's Super-G race in St Moritz, finishing in 24th place.

The Winter Olympics begin in Pyeongchang, South Korea, on 9 February.
