Austrian ski racer Daniel Danklmaier has ended his career at the age of 33 due to persistent injuries.
Career End After Numerous Surgeries
Daniel Danklmaier announced his retirement from professional sports on Tuesday via Instagram. The Styrian athlete cited the health consequences of multiple severe injuries as the reason for his decision. During his ten-year career, he underwent eight surgeries, including four torn ACLs, a patellar tendon rupture, and a tibial plateau fracture.
"Many setbacks, many doubts—but just as many comebacks. Now it’s time to close this chapter. I look back with gratitude and look forward to what’s next," Danklmaier wrote in his farewell post. The skier was notably not included in the Austrian Ski Federation’s squad for the upcoming season, as the association’s announcement on Monday indicated.
