Back in Switzerland on Wednesday morning, the hero of the Beijing Olympics downhill Beat Feuz assured that he will continue his career as long as he has fun skiing. In the meantime, he relishes.
At 35, Feuz appears almost young in comparison with the Frenchman Johan Clarey, silver medalist in China behind the Bernese at the age of 41. Can he imagine continuing his career until the 2026 Olympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo? Not excluded, to hear his answer on his arrival in Kloten.
“Maybe we’ll talk about it again in 4 years. Johan Clarey is naturally a phenomenon. We all have a deep respect for him. None of us know how the body can still function at 41“, said Feuz.
“I’m not thinking about it yet”
The time has not yet come for the descender to think about retirement. “I don’t really think about it yet. I’ll feel good myself when it’s over for me. It can happen in January, in the summer, in the fall, no idea. But right now, I don’t feel any of that. As long as I’m having fun, the subject is not topical“, he launched into the microphone.
The most significant moment for Feuz in the Middle Kingdom will remain the call of his friend Katrin after his victory, which moved him deeply and whose images of the reception made the rounds on social networks.
