Lisa Magdalena Agerer retires

With a long post on Instagram the blue Lisa Magdalena Agerer announced the withdrawal from the competitive activity at 27 years yet to be done.

Born on 1 November 1991 in Zams, in Tyrol, from an Austrian father and Italian mother and residing in Nauders, also in Tyrol, Lisa, in possession of dual citizenship, chose to compete for Italy. He took part in 54 World Cup races, the first in the Sölden giant on November 24, 2009, the last in the super-G in Val d'Isère on December 18, 2016. At the Crans-Montana Junior World Championship in 2011, his third participation in the manifestation, it was silver in giant, fourth in combined and fifth in super-G, while it has never been present at the World Championships and the Olympics. His far better season was 2011-2012 with his victory in the overall standings of the European Cup thanks to 8 races won consecutively in three different secrets between February 14 and March 15, 2012, record still unsurpassed. In that winter he took advantage of one of the first serious injuries to the career of Sofia Goggia but it took much of his winning the rankings of descent and giant, the latter also won the year before when she was second in the general. In the major circuit he went to points in all the specialties except in slalom, as in the following winter, but in that his first, true year in the World Cup, he reached his only top ten result, the seventh place in the giant of Åre of 9 March 2012. It was thought that Lisa could explode early even at the highest level but from that moment it was almost completely lost, especially in giant due to the change in the radius of curvature. The last blow of the tail gave him between 2015 and 2016, when he won three more races in the European Cup, in super-G, which brought his total of successes to 13, also the second place in the ranking of super-G in 2015-2016 he earned her the fixed place in the specialty and the return to the Circus Rosa after two and a half years of absence. But the definitive blow came in the FIS descent of Santa Caterina Valfurva on January 18, 2017 in which the knee ligaments were destroyed. And just the physical problems related to this injury and also a shoulder operation have led him to say enough with competitive skiing after last season he played only a super-G in the European Cup placing fifty-ninth. The impression remains of an unfinished career: perhaps with a little 'more confidence in itself after its magical season but especially with less serious physical problems had in recent years could have achieved better results, even if the counter-assessment of course does not exist. We wish the nice Lisa all the luck of the world for her life outside the races.
