There is still no indication of what caused her problem, but US star Lindsey Vonn has been released from the hospital and is resting at home.

According to an email from her agent Lewis Kay: “Lindsey is feeling much better today and has been released from the hospital. She is resting comfortably at home. Doctors are still working to determine what specifically was the cause of her illness but thankfully she has responded well to their treatment. We do not know when she will be able to return to the mountain and will update as her health improves.”

Vonn’s recovery will be closely monitored. She is due to race at Aspen Nov. 24 and 25th. Her first speed races are scheduled for Lake Louise, Alberta Nov. 30 with training runs set for Nov. 27.
