WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS

A look at some of the highlights for U.S. athletes competing over the weekend:

Skier Lindsey Vonn pulled out of the super-G race Sunday in Val d’Isere, France, because of soreness in her knee. She won Saturday’s super-G for her record-extending 78th victory of her career.

John Henry-Krueger dominated the short-track speedskating trials in Kearns, Utah, winning both men’s 1,000-meter races. Thomas Hong, Ryan Pivirotto and Jessica Kooreman claimed the final three Olympic team spots.

Ted Ligety moved up from seventh after the opening run to finish fifth in the men’s giant slalom race in Alta Badia, Italy, for his best skiing result in more than a year. Austrian Marcel Hirscher dominated both runs to take a record fifth consecutive victory at the Italian resort. Hirscher broke a tie with Italian great Alberto Tomba — the pair had four giant slalom wins each on the challenging Gran Risa course.
