Michelle Gisin's turning point: she will change materials after 15 years. Tiffany Gauthier announces retirement

The combined Olympic bi champion has announced her farewell to Rossignol: from next season she will compete with Salomon. At 28, the transalpine sprinter greets the white circus (with three-fourths places in the CdM).

April is the "hottest" month in terms of choice of materials for the next season, at least for those who have decided to change direction. There is a lot of talk about what Henrik Kristoffersen will do, expiring with Rossignol, but there is already an important news regarding another big name of the French house. Michelle Gisin, in fact, yesterday officially announced that she will not wear Rossignol materials after 15 years of a combination that, from the beginning at the youth level, has led the Swiss champion to conquer two consecutive Olympic titles in combined, in addition to two world medals and many podiums in the World Cup, with the first victory in the Semmering slalom at the end of December 2020 and a last season conditioned by mononucleosis in the summer, but "recovered" with a truly excellent ending, including the Olympics. As reported by colleague Gianmario Bonzi, apparently everything is already done for the transition to Salomon, which Michelle will announce in the coming days. News of the last few hours, again with regard to the pink circus, also the retirement of Tiffany Gauthier at just 28 years old. The transalpine sprinter leaves after having played her second Olympics (the best result in PyeongChang 2018, 13th downhill), to which are added the three world championships, from Sankt Moritz to Are and Cortina, and the 72 bibs worn in CdM , with a triple fourth place between the two days that was magical for her, in Bad Kleinkirchheim 2018 (she finished at the foot of the podium both downhill and super-g), and the Garmisch super-g in February 2020.
