Feb. 1 (UPI) -- American skier Lindsey Vonn has announced her retirement on social media, citing a string of injuries that will keep her from continuing to compete.
"The past two weeks have been some of the most emotionally challenging days of my life," Vonn wrote. "I am struggling with the reality of what my body is telling me versus what my mind and heart believe I'm capable of. The unfortunate reality is my mind and body are not on the same page."
