The race for the gold medal in Olympic skiing lost one of the best for Team USA. Lindsey Vonn has been forced to withdraw from the Suchi Olympics. She re injured her knee last December in France after an ACL tear. Vonn was hoping her knee would be ready but it requires surgery. She made the announcement on her Facebook page.

See her re injure the knee at the 1:36 mark.

Sad news for Vonn and Team USA but it's more important she take care of her knee than injure herself more.
