LINDSEY Vonn is taking an unexpected break in the middle of the World Cup ski season, saying she has yet to fully recover from an intestinal illness that landed her in a hospital last month.
After a weekend of disappointing results at a World Cup meet in France, the four-time overall champion said on her Facebook page on Monday that she needs to get her full strength back before returning to the slopes after New Year's.
Vonn was hospitalized in November for severe intestinal pain.
"After talking with my family and consulting with my coaches and trainers, I have decided to take a break from the World Cup circuit," Vonn said. "Since my intestinal infection last month, I have been struggling with my energy and strength. I believe that some time off the mountain will help me regain the physical strength that I require to compete at the level that I demand from myself."
