Lindsey Vonn suffered a partial tear to the ACL in her right knee from her crash in training, her publicist said Wednesday.

The Olympic skier will rest for a few days and then will "pursue aggressive physical therapy and will determine the next time she is able to compete after seeing how she responds to the treatment," said a statement released by Lewis Kay, her publicist.

She tore the ACL and MCL in her right knee and fractured her tibia in a brutal crash in Austria on Feb. 5.

BRENNAN: Vonn is fearless in her approach

With 78 days until the opening ceremony in Sochi, Vonn will be pushing to get back on skis soon if history is any indication.
