Marc Gini says goodbye

 

The Veteran of the Swiss slalom team Marc Gini announced that the National Championship on Sunday will be his last race as a professional skier. The 32 year-old athlete from Graubünden is the last Swiss World Cup winner in the discipline.

 

Last season, Gini didn’t reach his personal goal to reintegrate the Top 30 group in slalom and re-establish himself in the World elite of the discipline, which made him take the decision to put an end to his career. “I always said I would ski as long as I considered myself capable of winning a race one more time. Being outside of the Top 30 makes this almost impossible,” explained Gini.

 

In November 2007, Marc Gini succeeded in the slalom on the Reiteralm to claim the longed for World Cup win. His 14 years on the World Cup Tour brought him nine further Top 10 results, the last one being a 4th place in front of his home crowd in the Lenzerheide. Unfortunately, repeated injuries interrupted his progression and he often had to fight his way back through the European Cup.

 

After claiming the Swiss Champion title in slalom not less than six times already, Gini chose the National Championship in Davos on Sunday to be his farewell race, before pursuing and completing his physiotherapist education started two years ago.

    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
