KITZBUEHEL, Austria — French ski star Alexis Pinturault was taken off the hill by helicopter with a right knee injury after he became one of a series of racers who crashed in a men's World Cup super-G. The French ski federation said Pinturault suffered a significant bone bruise on the medial plateau and a minor fracture of the medial meniscus, adding he would travel to France for treatment. Pinturault competed only in his eighth race since returning from an 11-month layoff for an injury to his left knee. His French teammate Florian Loriot also crashed and was airlifted with unknown injuries. Italian skier Dominik Paris and Austrians Lukas Feurstein and Otmar Striedinger were among the other racers who went down.
