Overview
- Gut-Behrami announced on Wednesday that she is retiring from competitive Alpine skiing and will not return from the injury that sidelined her last season.
- She suffered the damage during a training crash at Copper Mountain, Colorado, on Nov. 20, 2025, when she ruptured ligaments in her left knee and tore the meniscus.
- Across an 18-year World Cup career she won 48 races, reached 101 World Cup podiums, claimed Olympic super-G gold in 2022, and took overall World Cup titles in 2016 and 2024.
- Gut-Behrami said she has not developed recurring pain after years of crashes and that she does not want to risk chronic problems by forcing a comeback, a decision that superseded her earlier plan to retire after the 2025–26 Olympic season.
- Her retirement ends the run of Switzerland’s leading speed specialist and clears the way for a life focused on family and a likely move to England where her husband works, while Swiss Ski now faces the task of replacing a top medal contender.
