Lindsey Vonn's journey to the Olympics just got a little bit harder.

The American skiing star was competing in a World Cup super-G race and suffered a back injury. She collapsed after crossing the finish line, and according to Yahoo Sports, observers said she was experiencing extreme pain.

Vonn later tweeted that she suffered an acute facet (spinal joint) dysfunction. She wrote, "I got compressed on the 6th gate and my back seized up. Rested and had a lot of therapy tonight. We will see how I feel tomorrow and then decide if I will race. Thanks for the support."

Immediately following the race, Vonn was treated in a nearby house and was seen limping into a car without speaking to reporters.

Vonn has had a difficult time with injuries throughout her career as she wasn't able to compete in the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi as a result of a right knee injury.

Vonn will have some time to hopefully make a full recovery since the 2018 Winter Games are not until Feb. 8, but the injury will certainly be a setback for the American skier.
