US skier Lindsey Vonn returns to training after missing time with intestinal illness

VAIL, Colo. – Lindsey Vonn has resumed her training after missing time with an intestinal illness.

The four-time overall World Cup champion was back on the snow this weekend, going through practice on Sunday in Vail after freeskiing Saturday.

If she’s healthy enough, Vonn’s next races are the giant slalom and slalom in Aspen next weekend, followed by speed events in Lake Louise, Alberta.

Vonn was hospitalized for two days last week after experiencing severe intestinal discomfort. She recently said on Facebook: “Finally starting to get healthy again! Looks like I had some infection in my tummy but everyone has been taking good care of me.”

Vonn recently skipped a slalom race in Levi, Finland.
