VAL D'ISERE, France, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- U.S. skier Lindsey Vonn will miss the giant slalom at the FIS Alpine Ski World Championships in France because of an injured thumb.
Vonn cut her right thumb Monday and underwent surgery in Austria Tuesday to repair a tendon. USA ski team officials said they hoped she would be able to race in Thursday's giant slalom and Saturday's slalom.
