Lindsey Vonn hooked a gate with her right arm early in her run and did not finish Thursday's super-G in her first appearance at the Alpine skiing world championships in six years.

Lindsey Vonn has completed pre-race inspection and is planning on competing in the super-G at the Alpine skiing world championships despite feeling sick with “a cold or the flu.”

Stephanie Venier delighted an Austrian home crowd on Thursday when she claimed super-g gold at the alpine skiing world championships while American Lindsey Vonn failed to finish. Venier, 31, had an all but flawless run under sunny skies as she skied to her biggest career success one-tenth ahead of Italian overall World Cup leader Federica Brignone whose silver is a first big event medal for her in the discipline.
