THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SCHLADMING, Austria — Kjetil Jansrud of Norway has been ruled out of the Alpine skiing world championships after injuring his knee in Wednesday’s super-G race.
Jansrud caught a bump and lost balance in a left turn before sliding off course. Initially, he appeared unhurt as he clipped on his ski again and skied down to the finish area.

Norway team spokesman Espen Graff declined to give more details on Jansrud’s injury or expected recovery time until a news conference later Wednesday.
Jansrud is eighth in the overall World Cup standings and was regarded a medal contender in downhill and super-combined.
