A surprise farewell, in the heart of a season that had seen her still get some good placements in the World Cup, but also a 9th place in what will be the last race of her career, or the Cup descent. Europe staged last Saturday in Crans-Montana.
Jennifer Piot, however, had already decided to say goodbye to competitive spirit, so much so that she did not require inclusion in the squad list of the French speed team (already reduced to a minimum) for the CdM stage scheduled for its weekend. in the Canton of Valais. And so, at the age of 28, the girl from Alpe d''Huez announced her immediate farewell to the world of competitive skiing, with the last of her 117 races in the maximum circuit dating back to 10 January, when on twenty-ninth in the super-g of St. Anton. "It is difficult to leave, but I think I gave everything I could - explained the transalpine sprinter on social media - I have a heart that suffers, but also full of pride for these ten years at a high level".
Piot's career, as unfortunately happens so often, was affected by injuries after a super start, if we think that in 2013 he also won the junior downhill world title, in the world championships on the snow in Quebec (where he was tenth in the super -g, his favorite specialty, won by Stephanie Venier ahead of Corinne Suter).
The best finish in the World Cup will remain the 13th place in the super-g of Lake Louise in December 2015, with the top ten touched several times and a participation in the Olympic Games in PyeongChang 2018, in addition to that at the Vail World Championships / Beaver Creek 2015.
