"I've had it"
No more at 25! German ski hopeful calls it quits
At the age of just 25, Christoph Brence has announced the end of his skiing career. Serious crashes in recent years had prompted the German to take this step, as he explained on Instagram.
"Dear people, I'm done! After my serious crashes and new injuries over the past two years, I have finally come to the decision that my health is worth a lot to me and that I am no longer prepared to take the risks that this sport entails in the future," explained Brence. "I'm closing a chapter that was characterized by passion, many challenges, hard knocks, cool people and unforgettable moments."
In January 2023, the Bavarian suffered a serious fall during the European Cup downhill in Orcieres Merlette, France, as a result of which he lay motionless on the ground before being taken to hospital. The consequences of the craniocerebral trauma he suffered would have affected him to the end - one reason why he no longer competed in professional races.
