Tiger Woods Girlfriend Lindsey Vonn Back On Ski Slopes After Injury
It looks like Lindsey Vonn will be spending less time on the golf course with Tiger Woods and more time on the ski slope.
The Olympic gold medalist is reportedly back on skis after spending the last several months rehabbing her surgically repaired knee following a painful crash in February that left her with a torn MCL and ACL. Vonn worked out in front of reporters last week and said she was 100 percent healthy. Vonn told John Meyer at The Denver Post that she is ready to go as she prepares to get back to action, especially with the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games looming.
"I'm really excited," Vonn said. "I'm super antsy. I've had my boots laid out for a couple weeks already. Hopefully we will get some good weather and I will be training, but just to be out there skiing is going to be awesome."
"I think my strength is awesome," she added. "There's no excess weight. I have the muscle mass I need, and the weight I need to be able to ski downhill fast, but there's no excess. That's going to be good for my knee."
With her injury and all, Vonn has found herself in the headlines lately for stories unrelated to her skiing activities. Vonn and Woods announced in March that they started dating and they've been seen together a number of times on the golf course and at various events.
Vonn recently talked to People Magazine and opened up about her relationship with Woods.
"From a personal standpoint, everything in my life has changed. It's a complete 180 in a short period of time," Vonn said. "I went from being married and living on my own in L.A. to having a new boyfriend and just being totally self-sufficient and super independent."
