Sources: 4. Developments: 2. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-23: Tina Maze reflects on retirement and potential skiing return Olympic alpine skiing champion Tina Maze discusses her life a decade after retirement, including the theoretical possibility of a competitive return and her current focus on family. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tina-maze-reflects-on-retirement-and-potential-skiing-return ### 2026-08-08: Michelle Gisin evaluates comeback options after severe injury Olympic alpine skier Michelle Gisin is navigating a difficult recovery following a severe crash in St. Moritz, weighing a potential comeback for the 2027/28 season against retirement. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/michelle-gisin-evaluates-comeback-options-after-severe-injury --- Cite as: Alpine skiers' career and comeback reflections.
