The French alpine star Alexis Pinturault has finished competing for the season. The three-time World Championship gold medalist, who crashed in Friday's World Cup competition in super-G in Kitzbühel, will be out for around six weeks due to a fracture in his right knee, the French Ski Association announces.

The 33-year-old landed in the safety net after a wild aerial and will now miss, among other things, the alpine World Championship in Austria, which begins next week.
