ÖSV confirmed:
Next retirement in Austria’s ski team!
After Mathias Graf, Daniel Traxler is the next ÖSV athlete to announce his retirement from the sport of ski cross. This was confirmed by the ÖSV in a press release on Thursday. The 30-year-old from Upper Austria achieved two World Cup podiums in his career.
"After last season, retirement was not really an issue. During the summer training, however, I realized that I simply lacked the final percentages to start from scratch again and tackle another comeback. I have therefore decided to end my career," said Traxler in the press release, explaining the reasons for this step.
Graf had already announced his retirement at the beginning of the month. "I know that I could manage to win medals at the World Championships and Olympic Games. However, I simply cannot reconcile it with my conscience to continue in this system and always remain silent. That's why I've decided to end my career as a professional athlete," the Vorarlberg native revealed in an interview with the "Krone" newspaper. The 28-year-old skied to two World Cup victories in his career.
