After Jennifer Piot in recent days, the French women's national team, already decidedly reduced in the organic, with only Tessa Worley and sprinter Tiffany Gauthier to bring home level results, loses another athlete who has decided to leave '' competition.
At just 26 years old, the slalomist Joséphine Forni said goodbye to skiing with an outburst through social media that leaves objectively surprised, given that we are talking about a specialist always called up for the seasonal slalom of the World Cup and able to conquer a couple of placings in points (23rd in the parallel of Lech / Zuers, 24th in the slalom of Zagreb), with the career top remaining the 21st of the Killington slalom in November 2018.
A choice dictated by the 'exclusion for the world championships in Cortina, motivated by the same class' '94 of Meribel, who at this point played his last race in CdM last 12 January in Flachau. "Today I decided to put my skis away for several reasons - the words of Forni, who hit two top ten in December in the European Cup slalom in Valle Aurina - One of these is that I no longer agree with the speeches and decisions that affect me. These decisions no longer allow me to move forward towards my goals and to ski peacefully.
It remains a personal and well thought-out decision, today I have the feeling that I have reached the end of my project without regrets ”.
