A good career, collecting 80 bibs in the World Cup and winning four results in the top ten, all in combination with the near podium at home, in the Crans-Montana race in February 2019 won by Federica Brignone and which saw Rahel Kopp finish at 4th place.
The 1994 Swiss class has today formalized the retirement from competitive skiing: "I am no longer willing to go 100% and beyond, especially in speed", his words entrusted to social networks. Junior world champion in 2015 on the slopes of Hafjell, always in "her" combined, Rahel won two victories (one in combined and one downhill) and eight podiums in the European Cup, disputing her last races in CdM at the end of February, on the occasion of the speed triptych in Val di Fassa, where he touched the points area between the two descents and the super-g.
"I shed a few tears announcing my retirement, because the emotions experienced in these 10 years are simply immense - continued Kopp in his greeting message - It is a great change in my life and needs courage, but I don't see the time to understand what life will offer me. In addition to sport, I have many other goals to achieve ”.
