I prefer retirement over this.. (with World Cup you mean World Championships?)

Oh her press conference is already finished by now. So she will come from nowhere to compete in Maribor on 7 January and that (a GS) will be her last race.

Expected for Maze, it is very hard to return to the heavy training after a year of relaxing. Plus she was more or less in the tour all the time, but on the sideways in a more cozy possition, without all the pressure and hard work that is required for competing at the top. Her decision doesn't surprise me, especially since her future is arranged.

And it won't really change anything at all..I mean, we were already living in the post-Maze era since March 2015, it's not like we will suddenly have to get used to skiing without her

Tina that´s sad....it´s always sad when a legend is gone. and she definitely is one legendary athlete. One of the last rare skier able to win in each Alpine skiing event.

 

I´ll always remember her not only for her amazing skiing skills but also with this crappy "lingerie" case
