BORMIO, Italy -- Lindsey Vonn has not skied for two weeks and will "most likely" skip next weekends World Cup speed races in Austria, her head coach said on Saturday, leaving her status for the Sochi Olympics up in the air. Vonn remains in the United States after aggravating her surgically repaired right knee at a downhill race in Val dIsere, France, on Dec. 21. "Shes recovering and preparing and everything is (up) in the air," U.S. Ski Team womens head coach Alex Hoedlmoser told The Associated Press on Saturday, adding that Vonn will "most likely not" race in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Austria, next weekend. The next speed races after Altenmarkt are on one of Vonns favourite courses over Jan. 18-19 in Cortina dAmpezzo, Italy, where she has won seven times. "Right now its a total open book," Hoedlmoser said. "We dont know. It totally depends on how she recovers, how the knee feels, if she gets the strength back, the stability in the knee." Vonn needed surgery in February to reconstruct two knee ligaments after a crash at the world championships, and partially re-tore one of them in November. She returned to the World Cup in Lake Louise, Alberta, in the first week of December and finished 40th and 11th in two downhills before placing fifth in super-G the next day. But a loss of balance in Val dIsere left her clutching her knee in another setback. Hoedlmoser said Vonn has not trained on snow since the Val dIsere incident. She is training in the gym and being checked by the teams medical staff and her personal trainers from Red Bull. Hoedlmoser last spoke to Vonn on Thursday. He has already brought up the possibility that Vonn might not race again before Sochi, and he said he would have no problem putting her on the Olympic team even if she hasnt competed for six weeks by the time of the Feb. 7 opening ceremony. "Well, its Lindsey Vonn," he said. "She doesnt have to prove anything to anybody. So if shes ready to go were going to bring her. And if shes not then not. "We would like to see her get a couple more races in but the injury she has, shes always taking some risks doing that. And (if she has) another setback then she might not be able to do the Olympics." Vonn has already sat out technical races in Lienz, Austria, and will also miss Sundays slalom in Bormio. Vonn hopes to defend her Olympic downhill title on Feb. 12, and would also be a top contender in the Sochi super-G three days later. Theoren Fleury Jersey .

But following another loss and ho-hum effort on Friday, the new Chicago Cubs manager had seen enough and let the players know their intensity and focus was unacceptable. "I think when Ricky talks and shows emotion, it means something," Darwin Barney said. "He doesnt do it every often. We know hes got our back and hes on our side. When he shows a little fire, it usually works." It certain did Saturday. Barney and Welington Castillo hit two-run homers and Mike Olt added a solo shot as the Cubs broke out of a weeklong offensive funk and beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-4. The win snapped a five-game losing streak for the Cubs. Since scoring four times last Sunday in St. Louis, the Cubs had managed just one run before beating the Reds. Cincinnati had won 16 of the last 17 at Wrigley Field. "I think the intensity was better," Renteria said. "Obviously, the results were better. But had the results not been there, I think the way they went about it was significantly better than yesterday." Emilio Bonifacio had three hits and scored a pair of runs for the Cubs. Junior Lake, Starlin Castro and Justin Ruggiano each drove in a run. Edwin Jackson (1-1) allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. "He battled and got into a little trouble there," Renteria said. "But all in all, he kept working. ... He showed some intensity and he showed some fight." Tony Cingrani (1-2) gave up three runs in five innings. Jay Bruce went 3 for 3 with a walk for the Reds. "Ive been battling myself the last couple of starts and Im just trying to find that command and my consistent mechanics," Cingrani said. "It just hasnt been working that well the lasst couple of starts.dddddddddddd" Bonifacio led off the bottom of the first with a single, went to second on a walk to Lake and came home on a single by Ruggiano. Olt stretched the lead to 2-0 when he led off the second with his third homer of the season, and Castro drove in Bonifacio in the third to make it 3-0. Jackson kept Cincinnati off the board until the sixth, when Devin Mesoraco doubled home Bruce. Zack Cozart made it 3-2 with an RBI grounder. Barney homered in the bottom of the sixth, the first shot of the season for the light-hitting second baseman. Lake added an RBI single later in the inning. An error by Olt at first base on a routine grounder helped the Reds score twice in the seventh. Castillo homered in the bottom half. "The guys hit the ball well when we needed it," Renteria said. "They picked us up a little bit." NOTES: Cubs 1B Anthony Rizzo left the game in the eighth inning with back spasms. He said tweaked it stretching for a pickoff throw and has had similar issues in the past. "I felt a little bit of it (Friday)," he said. "With this, itll probably be gone tomorrow or the next day. Its weird." . Reds 2B Brandon Phillips was back in the lineup after leaving Fridays game in the third inning because of back spasms. "As far as I know he didnt have any lower back issues until he took that swing off (Jeff) Samardzija, so my feeling is once he gets past that he wont have to do anything to maintain it," manager Bryan Price said. ... Reds OF Ryan Ludwick sat out Saturday after fouling a ball off his left foot during Fridays game and sustaining a bruised toe. X-rays were negative, but Price is not certain when Ludwick will be able to play. ... Reds RHP Homer Bailey (0-1) faces RHP Carlos Villanueva (1-3) in the series finale on Sunday.
