A Ted Ligety already in a ... political version? Well, the two-time Olympic champion has always exposed himself to the hot topics of the white circus, criticizing the FIS several times for its management. Twenty-four hours after announcing his retirement from competition, which will officially take place at the end of the world giant of Cortina, on Friday 19 February, one of the greatest specialists in history among wide doors met the media from all over the world in a conference print.
And he did not hide his support for Johan Eliasch, the CEO of Head, or the house with which Ligety wrote the best pages of his career, for the candidacy of the Swedish magnate for the presidency of the FIS, in the congress next spring. "We talked about a lot of aspects related to our world and I would like to be involved in the decisions concerning this sport in the future - said Ted.
