Five-time Olympic Alpine skiing medalist Kjetil Jansrud bit it hard at the World Cup super-G in Beaver Creek. The 36-year-old Norwegian racer opted out of continuing the competition and will be flying home to Oslo today for further examination of his knee ligament injury. The national team doctor says its too early to make any comment on possible surgery or even the extent of the injury. Hoping its just a partial and he can get back on the circuit asap.  Before the start of the season, Jansrud reportedly it would likely be his last.
