Back Injures pulls out of St. Moritz race "Lindsey Vonn"
Vonn later tweeted she had an "acute facet (spinal joint) dysfunction. I got compressed on the 6th gate and my back seized up."
Vonn said she would see how she responded to treatment overnight, but she tweeted again Sunday morning ahead of a second super-G:
"Unfortunately I will not be able to race today.
"I am extremely disappointed but my biggest goal this season is the Olympics and I need to take care of myself now so I can be ready for next week, and more importantly, for February."
Soon after Newsweek asked Fox News for comment on the article, the outlet changed the story's headline to "Lindsey Vonn suffers back injury in World Cup race" and deleted a tweet with the original headline, although that tweet is still archived. Fox News spokeswoman Jessica Jensen acknowledged the changes in an email to Newsweek, writing, "The headline was changed and the tweet was deleted." But Fox offered no comment on the changes. The text of the article appeared to be unaltered.
hopeful message to fans after lower back injury
Our @usskiteam doctor checked me out and no imaging is neededjust need the joint and the muscles to calm down so I can move again.
But she ended her updates with an uplifting message.
Vonn is hoping to compete in her fourth Olympics in February in PyeongChang, South Korea. She has 77 World Cup titles, the most by a female skier, but just two Olympic medals, both won at the 2010 Vancouver Games.
She missed the 2014 Sochi Olympics entirely with a right knee injury suffered during a training crash.
Earlier this week, Vonn drew attention by saying she would not be visiting the Trump White House with the rest of her Olympic teammates after the Games.
