Swiss skier Nadia Styger retires due to injury (AP)


GENEVA (AP)—Four-time World Cup race winner Nadia Styger is retiring from Alpine racing after breaking her left leg last November.

The 32-year-old Swiss skier says her recovery has been too slow following her training crash in Canada.

Styger says in a statement she “should be able to train without feeling pain, which is not the case right now.”

Styger’s World Cup victories included the first downhill on the new women’s Olympic course at Whistler, Canada, in February 2008.

She beat eventual Vancouver Games downhill gold medalist Lindsey Vonn by 0.01 seconds.

Styger also won three World Cup super-G races but never got a major individual medal.

Her best Olympics result was fifth in downhill at the 2006 Turin Games.
