Now it's official, Roni Remme leaves Canada and will compete for Germany: "Excited and honored"

The 26-year-old polyvalent already fifth in the world combined of Are 2019, for a couple of seasons at loggerheads with her country of origin, has obtained the change of nationality.

The exclusion from the national teams, made official in May in view of the 2022/23 season, had been the classic straw to overflow the camel's back. Roni Remme had already been active for some time to try the card of a farewell to the Canadian team which has become reality, after the rumors of the last few months, in these hours. The FIS has formalized the change of nationality, with the 26-year-old native of Ontario who, starting from the vintage starting in a few days in Soelden, will therefore compete for Germany. The last few years have been troubled for the 1996 class who was fifth in the combined World Championship of Are 2019: it seemed to be a springboard for great results, considering its qualities of versatility, in reality everything went wrong in the following seasons, with the only flash of last January with a 17th place in slalom in Zagreb, despite the double Olympic participation with Beijing 2022 after PyeongChang 2018 (without particular results). “I am honored and extremely excited - wrote Roni on social media - for this opportunity that I am granted to ski for Germany. I am grateful to this team for welcoming me in this way, making me feel a little less traumatic about the change. I also want to tell the Canadian fans that I have enjoyed every minute I lived under the Canadian flag, I hope they will support me again ”.
