rts.ch (French)

Lara Gut-Behrami announced her retirement; former coach Patrice Morisod called her an “absolutely crazy talent” and the greatest Swiss-Ski champion of the modern era. Morisod said he was not surprised, noting Gut-Behrami had announced before her injury that the 2025/26 season would be her last. He praised her strong character, incredible technique, and unmatched line selection, which helped her win 24 super-Gs. Morisod first met Gut-Behrami when she was 15 and credited her parents, Pauli and Gabriella, for supporting her dreams. He acknowledged her retirement leaves a void, but said Swiss skiing remains strong with emerging talent.
