Figure skater Alexia Paganini announces her retirement on her Instagram account.
Born in the USA, the 22-year-old has competed for Switzerland since 2017, as her father comes from Brusio in Graubünden. She made it into the top 10 at the European Championships four times, with her best ranking being 4th place in 2020. She represented Switzerland twice at the Olympic Games.
Recently, however, things have not gone as well as she would have liked. Paganini now wants to focus on ice shows and other projects.
