VAIL, Colo., Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Lindsey Vonn still has feelings for ex-boyfriend Tiger Woods.

The 31-year-old alpine ski racer admitted as much in an interview on Friday's episode of CNN's Alpine Edge. The confession came nearly seven months after Vonn and Woods split after three years of dating.

"I mean, I loved him and I still love him," the Olympic gold medalist said. "I had an amazing three years with him. Sometimes things just don't work out and unfortunately it didn't work out for us. But I don't have any regrets and I think we're both in a pretty good place."

"I don't know if I'm ready to be in another relationship," she shared. "I kind of realized that probably realistically, I only have three good years of racing left. It's kind of nice to be able to just focus on that and focus on my career."

Vonn and Woods announced their breakup in May, citing their busy schedules as the reason for the split. The alpine ski racer told the New York Times she learned a lot from the relationship in an interview this month.

"I loved Tiger, and I had an amazing three years with him," she said. "But it was a learning experience as well. With every relationship, you learn what you need and what you want in a partner."

Vonn was married to alpine ski racer Thomas Vonn from 2007 to 2011, and finalized her divorce in 2013. Woods, meanwhile, was wed to Elin Nordegren from 2004 to 2010, and shares 8-year-old daughter Sam and 6-year-old son Charlie with the model.
