In an interview with Arianna Huffington, CEO of American media consulting firm, Thrive Global, the former world champion skier spoke of the testing phase in her life when she divorced husband Thomas Vonn in 2011, ending their four-year marriage.
Vonn, who has now retired from professional skiing, said that she felt “really strong” and “reinvigorated” in her skiing career in the next couple of years after her divorce. “That [2012-13 ski season] was the first time after I was divorced that I really felt like I was doing things a hundred percent on my own. I was able to channel all of my emotions into ski racing and it worked out well,” said Vonn, an Olympic gold medal-winner and multiple-time world champion.
“Obviously, everyone has their struggles. Everyone has different parts of their life that are painful and difficult to get through. But when you get on the other side of it, you find so much more happiness and joy. If you embrace that, you can learn a lot and find yourself,” added Vonn, who split from fiance PK Subban last December.
