Johnson writes on Instagram she’s taken medical advice over a cut and bruised knee from a training crash. Johnson will miss a downhill and a super-G at Altenmarkt-Zauchensee. The same races are also staged on the two following weekends in Italy and Germany. At the Beijing Winter Games Johnson’s main medal target is the Feb. 15 downhill.
