Lindsey Vonn's ski season is over.
The overall World Cup leader said Wednesday she was leaving the racing circuit early because her left knee injury was more serious than originally thought.
Vonn crashed on Saturday in a super-G race in Andorra after catching a spot of soft snow. X-rays showed a hairline fracture and the American raced Sunday in the combined event, extending her overall lead by finishing in 13th place.
