Elena Stoffel draws a line at the age of 28

The technical specialist from Valais made the announcement on the sidelines of the World Cup slalom in Are - the place where she made her World Cup debut ten years ago.

"I've noticed in recent weeks that I've lost some of the joy of ski racing and that I'm no longer willing to give one hundred percent," Stoffel explained on Sunday after her last race. According to the B-squad athlete, she has come full circle in Are.

Stoffel finished in the top 15 five times in the World Cup, with her best result being 14th place in the slalom in Spindleruv Mlyn in 2019. Stoffel achieved two victories and nine podium places in the European Cup.
