World Cup Retirement

Kenyan Olympic skier Sabrina Simader has ended her career despite qualifying for the 2026 Winter Games in Cortina. A lack of financial support and broken promises from her national federation forced the 27-year-old World Cup athlete to retire, bringing a premature end to one of alpine skiing’s most inspiring journeys.

Britain’s most successful alpine skier, Dave Ryding, has announced that the 2025–26 season will be his last. The 38-year-old slalom star plans to retire after his fifth Olympic appearance, aiming to end his career with a historic podium and a new personal best at the Games.

Canadian-German skier Roni Remme has announced her retirement from World Cup skiing ahead of the 2026 Olympic season. After switching from Canada to Germany in 2022 and battling multiple injuries, the former Crans Montana podium finisher ends her career with gratitude and resolve.
