The skier said on Facebook, "While I am confident that I'm making the right decision, it still doesn't make this decision any easier."
Alpine skier Lindsey Vonn is choosing to end her season early after an injury, despite leading the World Cup standings.
Vonn, ending eight races early, made the announcement on Facebook, saying: "While I am confident that I'm making the right decision, it still doesn't make this decision any easier. Thanks to everyone who supported me and stood by me through it all."
Vonn crashed in Andorra last Saturday during a super-G race, and original X-rays reportedly showed a hairline knee fracture, still allowing her to compete.
She raced again Sunday, finishing 13th, and then traveled to Barcelona for further tests on her knee.
According to Vonn's Facebook post, further examination showed three fractures "significant enough that they are not sufficiently stable."
Vonn currently sits 28 points ahead of Switzerland's Lara Gut, but now that Vonn's season is over, she'll likely lose her top spot.
The 31-year-old Olympic gold medalist has been hindered by injuries the past few years — especially to her knees.
Most notably, Vonn was forced out of the 2014 Sochi Olympics after a late-December crash in France, reinjuring her right ACL and MCL.
Vonn, an honorary ambassador for the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang, has said she wants to compete in the next Winter Olympic Games.

3. Review our website or contact us to discuss which program model and training option would best meet your needs.
4. Contact us to schedule a training. We will discuss which training option is best for you, depending on the model you want to use. If you want the full “live” 2-day training, contact other professionals, including local counselors, lawyers and judges (if possible) to generate interest. The level of community interest will determine the best training option. We will help you determine the best way to organize a training in a way that will meet your needs.
If you are only going to provide the Coaching model or Decision Skills Class model and would like to become trained by viewing the 90 minute online video training, you may register for that online training individually, at any time. Contact us for group rates if you intend to train multiple people using the online video.
If implementing New Ways as a community-wide program, it is best to develop a steering committee and timeline for starting a New Ways program following the training. Steering committees should ideally be comprised of counselors, family law attorneys and judges, if possible. A panel of trained professionals will be developed after the training and licensing requirements have been met. This list of trained professionals will be listed on our New Ways website. View our current approved provider list here.
If implementing New Ways on an agency-level or within your individual practice, you can begin offering the program any time after completing the training and licensing requirements.
Contact us to further discuss the steps of implementation. We will help you decide which approach is best for your community.
7. Adapt the New Ways forms and procedures to fit your local agency and family court jurisdiction, with High Conflict Institute approval and assistance.
No one sets out on a run thinking, “I hope this run is long and terrible.” We all want it to feel good. However, despite our best intentions, sometimes runs just feel...blah. While this can sometimes be fixed by simply taking a few days off, other times it can become a problem that you can’t seem to shake. If this is a common struggle you face as a runner, today’s blog is for you. We here at NEWZILL would like to share with you some tips that will hopefully make it easier for you to run. Although we are not running experts, we are deeply committed to creating the perfect pair of performance compression socks that are used by runners...
We’ve all heard of the importance of stretching before running or exercising. While most people are pretty good at remembering this, they often forget to stretch their feet. They will stretch their arms, shoulders, quads, calves, and hamstrings, but forget the feet — the essential part of the body that contains more than 100 combined muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This is quite the oversight, and in today’s blog, we here at NEWZILL would like to share with you some basic stretches and ways to help keep your feet in optimal condition. The Importance of Feet While the above heading may seem self-evident, it’s something that is worth repeating. The feet are the base of your support. They’re the first point...
Sitting for long periods of time is never good. It has been linked to a cluster of health conditions, including obesity, increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, poor circulation, and more. Although the solution to this problem may seem rather simple—move more!—there are some instances where moving is not always an option. One such instance is when flying. This is why it is quite common during air travel for people to experience leg and foot swelling. Sitting with your feet on the floor for long periods of time causes blood to pool and, therefore, swelling to occur, which can put a damper on your travels. As makers of graduated compression socks that are designed to circulate blood back to the...
If you are like most, you probably haven’t given your feet much thought—unless of course they’re in pain. But this is no way to treat such an important part of your body. Feet are our foundation. They propel us. They allow us to stand, walk, and for us runners, they are the base of every stride we take and the part of the body that absorbs the most force. Don’t wait until your feet are crying out in pain before you give them attention. Make basic foot care a part of your running routine, just as you would nutrition or training. In today’s blog, we at NEWZILL would like to share with you some tips for taking care of your...
NEWZILL COMPRESSION TECHNOLOGY Most people assume that the heart pumps blood out to the legs and then pumps it back. That's only half right. Actually, the heart only pumps the blood out. Leg muscles pump it back. Every time a leg muscle tightens, it squeezes the leg veins flat. Blood pushed through the veins like toothpaste being squeezed from a tube. NEWZILL CLIMA-PRO GRADUATED COMPRESSION SOCKS The best compression socks act as a layer of muscle, gently squeezing your stretched vein walls. This is what we set out to achieve with our support socks. This built-in feature helps fight the force of gravity and circulate your blood back to the heart more efficiently. When blood is properly circulated, it provides much-needed...
