(CNN) -- American golden girl Lindsey Vonn sustained a broken finger after crashing out in the first leg of the women's giant slalom at Whistler on Wednesday.

Vonn, who won gold in the downhill and bronze in the Super-G, lost control of her skies midway through her run and landed heavily on her left hip before ending up crumpled in the safety netting.

It was later revealed she had broken the little finger on her right hand, leaving her participation in Friday's slalom in severe doubt.
