(AP) ? Lindsey Vonn says she's healthy enough to race in one of the two World Cup races this weekend in Aspen.

The four-time overall champion will compete in the giant slalom Saturday, but skip the slalom Sunday.

Vonn recently returned to training after missing time with an intestinal issue that landed her in the hospital. She squeezed in two training runs Friday before calling it a day. Vonn then consulted with her coaches before electing to step into the starting gate just for the giant slalom.

The main concern with Vonn was whether she was in good enough race condition. The Olympic downhill gold medalist recently spent two nights in the hospital with what she described on Facebook as "some infection in my tummy."
