Former overall WCup champion Hosp retires

AUSTRIAN skier Nicole Hosp is retiring, less than four months after winning her 12th medal at a major championship.

“I feel now is the right time for a change,” said the 31-year-old Hosp, whose biggest triumph was winning the 2007 overall World Cup title. Hosp took silver in the combined event at the worlds in Beaver Creek in February, repeating her achievement from the Olympics a year before. She also won super-G bronze in Sochi, adding to slalom silver from the 2006 Turin Games. A year after winning the overall championship in 2007, Hosp finished runner-up to Lindsey Vonn as the American clinched her first of four overall titles.
