Olympic silver medallist Ulbing takes a break from the World Cup
Snowboarder Daniela Ulbing will be taking a creative break in the coming season. The 26-year-old wants to concentrate fully on her studies in Applied Economics at the University of Vienna, she announced in a press release from the ÖSV on Monday.
However, the 2022 Olympic silver medal winner in the parallel giant slalom still has her sights firmly set on the 2026 Winter Games in Italy.
Ulbing wants to keep fit
"As it's difficult to reconcile studying and professional sport with intensive preparation and a four-month season, I've decided to take a break for the time being," said Ulbing. She will keep herself physically fit with strength and fitness training and also work on her snowboarding technique on snow.
The ÖSV will tackle the coming World Cup season with established riders Sabine Payer (formerly Schöffmann) and Claudia Riegler as well as newcomers Martina Ankele and Carmen Kainz and sees itself "well positioned", as Christian Galler, Sports Director for Alpine Snowboarding and Cross, emphasized.
