(CNN)The clock is ticking on her bid to become the most successful ski racer ever, but Lindsey Vonn has been forced to delay her season debut after injuring her knee in training.
The 34-year-old, who will retire at the end of the season, crashed at Copper Mountain, Colorado, Monday and will miss the three upcoming speed races at Lake Louise, Canada at the end of the month.
Vonn needs five more World Cup wins to beat the 86 of Sweden’s Ingemar Stenmark, but will have to wait until at least a super-G in St. Moritz, Switzerland on December 8.
