Overview
- The 25-year-old announced a comeback after four months away and the Austrian Ski Federation (ÖSV) confirmed she has already resumed training and regained motivation for the sport.
- Eder initially retired in April after the season ended and publicly linked a possible continuation to the ÖSV adding her fiancé, former jumper Manuel Fettner, to the national coaching team.
- The ÖSV has formally declined the request to integrate Fettner into its coaching staff, and the federation has not reversed that decision in response to Eder’s return.
- Eder was Austria’s best-placed woman in the most recent World Cup season, finishing fourth overall, and she has two individual World Cup wins plus a team silver from the Trondheim World Championships.
- Fettner retired after a 24-year career that included an Olympic title, and his proposed coaching role raises questions about how national federations manage appointments tied to personal relationships and athlete retention.
