Canada's Cassidy Grey finished 20th after she was forced to do a re-run.

The Invermere, B.C., skier's first run was halted because organizers needed to fix the course following a crash.

Lindsey Vonn hooked a gate with her right arm early in her run and did not finish in her first appearance at the worlds in six years. She avoided falling and was able to stop but then grasped her arm in apparent pain.

The gate pressed on her forearm, locked her elbow by her side and pushed the whole arm back with pressure on her shoulder.

Spectators in the area let out a collective gasp of astonishment and grew silent with concern. Vonn skied down to the finish and waved to the crowd.

Live streaming coverage through the 13-day world alpine ski championship will be available on CBCSports.ca and CBC Gem. 

Vonn retired in 2019 after winning bronze in downhill in Are, Sweden, following several injuries, but returned to the circuit this season with a new titanium right knee.
