Former Olympic skiing champ Jansrud injured, to miss Beijing

OSLO (AP) — Former Olympic alpine skiing champion Kjetil Jansrud will not race at the Beijing Games in February after being ruled out for up to nine months with knee ligament damage. The 36-year-old Norwegian was hurt in a fall in a race at Beaver Creek on Friday. The doctor of Norway’s alpine national team says Jansrud required an operation that is planned for next week and would be “out for six to nine months.” Jansrud won medals in each of the last three Olympics including gold in the super-G at the Sochi Games in 2014. He was also downhill world champion in 2019.
