SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) - Lindsey Vonn crashed during the women's super-G and has been taken by helicopter to a hospital from the world championships. It appears she injured her right knee.

The American lost balance on her right leg while landing after a jump. Her ski came off immediately, and Vonn slid off course and hit a gate before coming to a standstill.

Vonn received medical treatment on the slope for 12 minutes before going to the hospital.

Tina Maze of Slovenia won the race while American Julia Mancuso finished third.
