Riesch engaged to manager

According to a report on FISalpine.com, German ski racing star Maria Riesch is engaged to be married to her manager Marcus Höfl.

The 25-year-old, who claimed two gold medals at the Vancouver Games on her way to grabbing her second consecutive World Cup overall slalom globe, announced she was in a relationship with Höfl shortly after the Vancouver Games. 

“We looked at ourselves and knew we are meant for each other,” said Riesch.

According to the report, the happy couple has not yet decided on a wedding date but bought silver rings for each other to make it official. 

Höfl (36) also manages soccer coach Franz Beckenbauer and former tennis great Boris Becker.
