Six months ago, Lindsey Vonn officially ended her relationship with Tiger Woods and now she shares her sentiments on what has transpired in her life.
The Olympic skier revealed in an interview with The New York Times that although she had failed to keep her romantic life with the legendary golfer, she's not bitter about it at all. In fact, she claimed it to be a "learning experience."
"Thomas was really my first boyfriend, so I didn't have a lot of dating experience. So jumping into a relationship right away after getting a divorce was probably not the smartest move on my part." The gold medallist shared, recounting her divorce with ex-husband Thomas Vonn.
Although Vonn claimed what she did to be a mistake, it's still a part of her bittersweet path to discover that it is not very wise to head on to another relationship without time to ponder on the failed one. To which she's had the opportunity to think about now.
While Vonn admitted a mistake in making the right decision at the right time, she confessed that it was not a mistake to have loved her ex and fellow athlete Woods.
"I don't regret anything. I loved Tiger, and I had an amazing three years with him. But it was a learning experience as well. With every relationship, you learn what you need and what you want in a partner."
Now, the 31-year-old insists on leading her single life and concentrating on her career.
The Olympic gold medallist is expected to compete in the upcoming World Cup in Aspen and in the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea. Fans are very excited to see Vonn contending against her rivals again after overcoming her knee and ankle injuries. Everyone can expect a lot more from the woman who just came out of a heartbreak and is giving all of herself to a dream she's always been reaching for.
"I have a limited window to accomplish my ski-racing dreams, so I don't want to give that up for really anything."
I guess it would take a while before we hear any romance news from Vonn, instead, expect more to hear on her journey in her bid to make a new skiing history.
