SKIING

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS: Tina Maze of Slovenia captured gold in the Alpine combined, earning her third medal of the world championships on a warm afternoon while Lindsey Vonn failed to finish the slalom at Beaver Creek, Colorado.

Leading after the downhill portion, Maze used a clean slalom run to finish in a combined time of 2 minutes, 33.37 seconds.

Nicole Hosp of Austria was second, 0.22 seconds behind, and fellow Austrian Michaela Kirchgasser earned third.

Vonn struggled in the downhill with the icy surface bothering her surgically repaired right knee and then straddled a gate, ending her day. Vonn was in tears after the race.
