Austria’s Fischbacher retires
AUSTRIAN skier Andrea Fischbacher is retiring, ending an 11-year career highlighted by winning the Olympic super-G gold medal in 2010.
The 29-year-old Fischbacher said: “My motivation to keep giving everything for this sport isn’t sufficient anymore.” Fischbacher won bronze in super-G at the 2009 world championships in Val d’Isere, and beat Tina Maze and Lindsey Vonn to become Olympic champion in Vancouver the following year. The Austrian had less success in recent seasons. She was left out of the Olympic team for Sochi but won the first race after the games — a downhill in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. It was the third and last World Cup victory for Fischbacher.
