Ana Drev says enough. She does it a few hours after the Slovenian World Cup stage, which instead of the Maribor that gave her the second and last podium in the World Cup 4 years ago, will be staged on Saturday and Sunday in Kranjska Gora.
The giant's 34-year-old specialist raised the white flag after attempting to return following yet another knee injury. “The decision is final - confirmed Drev today to the Slovenian media - It all started with the last stop, the worst of my career since the lateral ligaments and menisci also blew up, after various problems with the crusaders. I didn't want to end with an injury, but the harder the rehabilitation became, the more it became clear to me that the time had come to retire. "
The Slovenian, who took part in the last race in Semmering on 28 December 2018, therefore closes with two second places in giant (but also 5 victories in the European Cup), obtained within two weeks between Flachau and Maribor, in January 2016 , for a protagonist for many years among the wide doors.
