(Reuters) - Italy's reigning super-G world champion Dominik Paris will be out for the rest of the World Cup season after suffering a knee injury in training for the Kitzbuehel speed races on Tuesday.

The governing FIS said Paris, a four times winner in the Austrian resort, had torn the anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee with a micro-fracture of the fibula head.
