 Poster: A snowHead
|
German ski racing star Hilde Gerg, who won the slalom gold mdeal at the Nagano Winter Olympics in 1998, has retired following a serious knee injury during training at Copper Mountain, Colorado, last week.
"I am very frustrated but there is no point any more," Gerg told Bild daily.
Gerg was expected to be one of Germany's skiing medal hopes at the 2006 winter games in Turin, next February.

Just last week our top junior girl in Les Arcs crashed out during downhill training up at Tignes, a badly fractured tibia. These guys just aren't paid enough, when you compare them to the likes of footballers!

If you're in the, say, top thousand soccer stars worldwide, you would probably be earning anything from a million quid a year up, some on ten times that...
If you're no 93 worldwide in an alpine skiing discipline, you would probably be earning .... nowt.
Room for some movement, I reckon.
