American skier Lindsey Vonn lost her balance and crashed in the opening race of the world championships in Schladming, Austria. Vonn's right knee buckled when she landed after a high-speed jump during a super-G. Vonn suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament, a torn medial collateral ligament and a lateral tibial plateau fracture in her right knee. She laid on the snow for 12 minutes while a medical team attended to her before being sent to a hospital by helicopter. She will undergo a major knee reconstruction and is expected to take six to eight months to recover. SOURCE: Lowell Sun
