Overview
- Preuß, 32, said she ended her career because she felt burned out and no longer had the competitive spark.
- She plans to close the chapter on elite sport before starting a new path, with no parallel job on the side.
- She expects to attend a few World Cup stops only as a fan and to settle into everyday life away from racing.
- Looking to the next leaders, she praised 20-year-old Selina Grotian’s strong rise after a top‑10 overall finish and a first World Cup win last season.
- She also backed Julia Kink and Marlene Fichtner as prospects as Sandra Flunger becomes the first woman in 36 years to head the German women’s team.
