JEONGSEON, South Korea - American speed queen Lindsey Vonn said on Tuesday that she would require "medical miracles" to extend her trophy-laden skiing career after sustaining a string of devastating injuries.

Serious injuries are one of the hazards of elite racing, which this season has seen the deaths of two male racers, France's two-time Olympian David Poisson and German teenager Max Burkhart.

Be it a jarred back, fractured humerus or season-ending injuries that include a fractured left ankle (2016), wrecked right knee (2014) and left knee (2013), Vonn has sustained a catalogue of mishaps that have left her relying on more than a couple of reconstructed body parts.
