And then he says the words actually expected everyone in the room who had received on the Morning of the announcement of the conference: “I hereby resign from the active sport of skiing.”
Patrick Küng was in Training for the Lauberhorn downhill race of last week, plunged, and with over 100 km/h into the net slipped. He came out relatively unscathed, with a concussion that made him Worry. In the past week, the decision had matured then, says Küng. His best moments were, of course, was the victory in Wengen and the world title in Beaver Creek, a boy’s dream. And: “You told me, the champion of the world I will always remain.”
“I tried it last spring,” says Küng. He wanted to find out if he can find the connection to the absolute world top. At the beginning, he said he felt good, “the fall in Wengen was opened for me then again the eyes”.
