"Sad reality"
Resignation! Ski lady is now switching sports
French skier Tifany Roux has announced her retirement with emotional words. But it's a farewell with a but: the 26-year-old is switching sports and becoming a ski cross racer.
"My passion for skiing is huge, but I have to face a sad reality: My desire to progress in the World Cup is not possible without the support of federation coaches," Roux announced her retirement from alpine skiing via Instagram.
Last year, the French speed specialist, whose best World Cup result was a 15th place, was kicked out of the squad and had to fight her way through last season alone. Although she impressed in the European Cup and even celebrated a victory, she was unable to return to the World Cup squad. Hence her retirement.
"Would like to seize the opportunity"
"After long weeks of reflection, I realized that this battle year after year had become too exhausting for me," says Roux, who will now compete in ski cross. "I still have the enthusiasm for top-class sport. I want to take the opportunity to experience something new."
