Alpine skiers' career and comeback reflections

Overview

Alpine skiers Michelle Gisin and Tina Maze have recently shared reflections regarding their professional careers and the possibility of returning to competition.

Michelle Gisin is currently undergoing rehabilitation following a severe accident in St. Moritz that caused injuries to her knee, wrist, and cervical spine. While she has progressed to physical training, a return to snow training remains distant. Gisin is weighing three options: competing in the 2027 World Championships, returning for the 2027/28 World Cup season, or retiring. She stated, “I don't want to end my career on a physiotherapist's couch,” indicating a desire to attempt a comeback if recovery permits.

Tina Maze, who retired in 2017, has also discussed the theoretical possibility of a competitive return. While noting that a return to downhill racing might be more feasible than technical disciplines, she indicated that her current family responsibilities would make such a move difficult.
