The Swiss spoke regarding the summer break, thoughts of resignation and more.
The early start of the season was also an issue.
Lara Gut-Behrami was out and regarding in Dübendorf on Wednesday with a smile and numerous bags packed. Swiss Ski’s annual drop-off day in the run-up to the season was on the agenda. The ski star also spoke to the media.
Gut-Behrami regarding the summer break…
“I had a nice summer, I didn’t do anything special.” As in previous years, she would have tried to start skiing a little later and worked a lot in the physical area. «Everything went well, I had no problems. The last week in Zermatt was brilliant. The slope was great. I’m doing well.”
their season plans…
“My first priority is to get through the season healthy and try to ski well,” says the 32-year-old. She hopes to be able to translate the work from the summer into good results in the winter. The plan is to also complete the races on the calendar. “I’m physically ready, now it’s time to refine the details on the skis.”
the early start of the season at the end of October…
Gut-Behrami is once morest an early start to the season. After all, the conditions are now better in April and people are already having trouble with the races in November. The idea was once to get people excited regarding winter. “Nowadays people in Sölden come to the races wearing T-shirts. That’s not logical. So nobody wants to go skiing.”
Lara Gut-Behrami was in a good mood on the day Swiss Ski dropped off.

her thoughts of resignation…
“It’s not over yet,” said the Ticino native. Last winter she was on the verge of deciding whether to continue. Also because they asked people regarding it in private following their Olympic gold. She would have given a lot of thought to the summer training in Argentina. “The conditions weren’t the best, there was hardly any sun and it was very humid. As a result, I had problems with my knee and asked myself what I should do, whether it made sense and whether I still wanted to do it.”
But now things are different. “I feel good and I’m not thinking regarding quitting.” Gut-Behrami continued: “If I were seriously thinking regarding resigning, I wouldn’t be happy regarding little things.” She would give everything to be successful on skis once more. Maybe the World Cup in Saalbach in 2025 is the goal, maybe your career will end earlier. Gut-Behrami can’t say yet.
what she will definitely miss the least…
Gut-Behrami has a very clear answer: “The pressure,” she says. “You get up every day and there’s pressure to be healthy,” says the Ticino native. That would cost an extremely large amount of energy. “You are measured by your performance and you also measure yourself by it,” which is an incredible pressure, says Gut-Behrami.
