Lindsey Vonn Suffers - Back Injures - World Cup Race


Back Injures pulls out of St. Moritz race "Lindsey Vonn"

Vonn later tweeted she had an "acute facet (spinal joint) dysfunction. I got compressed on the 6th gate and my back seized up." Vonn said she would see how she responded to treatment overnight, but she tweeted again Sunday morning ahead of a second super-G: 

"Unfortunately I will not be able to race today. "I am extremely disappointed but my biggest goal this season is the Olympics and I need to take care of myself now so I can be ready for next week, and more importantly, for February."

Soon after Newsweek asked Fox News for comment on the article, the outlet changed the story's headline to "Lindsey Vonn suffers back injury in World Cup race" and deleted a tweet with the original headline, although that tweet is still archived. Fox News spokeswoman Jessica Jensen acknowledged the changes in an email to Newsweek, writing, "The headline was changed and the tweet was deleted." But Fox offered no comment on the changes. The text of the article appeared to be unaltered.

Looks like i have an acute facet (spinal joint) dysfunction. I got compressed on the 6th gate and my back seized up. Rested and had a lot of therapy tonight. We will see how I feel tomorrow and then decide if I will race. Thanks for the support 🙏🏻

MLB players and fans react to Shohei Ohtani picking the Angels
MLB players and fans react to Shohei Ohtani picking the Angels The Los Angeles Angels won the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes Friday, as the Japanese phenom chose to sign with the Angels over six other finalists. Ohtani’s new teammates were overjoyed by his decision: But not everyone was happy...

Vonn is hoping to compete in her fourth Olympics in February in PyeongChang, South Korea. She has 77 World Cup titles, the most by a female skier, but just two Olympic medals, both won at the 2010 Vancouver Games. 

She missed the 2014 Sochi Olympics entirely with a right knee injury suffered during a training crash. Earlier this week, Vonn drew attention by saying she would not be visiting the Trump White House with the rest of her Olympic teammates after the Games.

NASA Has Found Another Planetary System Many Planets As Our Own

Thanks to a novel artificial intelligence technique in partnership with Google, NASA has discovered a planetary system that has as many planets as our own. It’s the most planets in one system we’ve ever found elsewhere. The system is called Kepler-90, a Sun-like star 2,545 light-years from Earth. We already knew about seven planets in this system, but thanks to this new technique, we’ve found an eighth. The findings are published in   The Astrophysical Journal . “The Kepler-90 star system is like a mini version of our solar system,” said Andrew Vanderburg from the University of Texas at Austin, one of the scientists behind the discovery, in a  statement . “You have small planets inside and big planets outside, but everything is scrunched in much closer.” Kepler has been looking for planets since 2009, and has found thousands so far. But there are many more hiding in its data that we aren’t able to confirm yet. Thanks to this new method, we can do better. Kepler finds planets by detecti

Super Long Python | Found In | Florida | Watch Video

THIS BURMESE PYTHON IS 5.1 METERS (17 FOOT) LONG AND WEIGHS 59.8 KILOGRAMS (132 POUNDS). SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT Python hunters have found a monster slithering around the Everglades. Snake hunter Jason Leon captured a 5.1-meter (17-foot) Burmese python in the Florida Everglades. Weighing 59.8 kilograms (132 pounds), it’s thought this female could be a record-breaker for the longest snake caught by the South Florida Water Management District’s (SFWMD) Python Elimination Program. It was found earlier this week submerged in the water of an SFWMD territory near Big Cypress National Preserve. “That snake could pretty much kill any full-grown man,” Leon told  NBC 6 Miami  local news. “If that snake was alive right now, it would probably take like three of us to be able to control that snake.” As the name suggests, Burmese pythons are native to Southeast Asia. Over the past 50 years, the balmy swamps of southern Florida have become the home of hundreds of pythons, most of whic
