PARIS: Liechtenstein’s Tina Weirather, a world and Olympic medallist in the super-G, announced Wednesday she had hung up her ski boots for the final time, at the age of 30.
"Retirement - Everything has an end," she said on social media. "As of today, I’m officially retired and a pensioner. It was a thrilling ride, an adventure of a lifetime. "Everything I am today, I am because of skiing. 15 years after my first World Cup race, I can say with no regrets that I’ve given it my all."
Weirather was born into skiing aristocracy: her mother is Hanni Wenzel, a double Olympic champion, and father Harti Weirather, a world champion skiing for Austria. Her uncle Andreas was a World Cup winner and two-time Olympic medallist.
Weirather herself won super-G bronze at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, having claimed world silver at St Moritz the previous year.
