Despite recent successes, the Paralympic champion decided against a new guide and wants to make a fresh start with her sister.
Aigner will therefore also forego the World Championships taking place in Tignes, France, in March 2027.
"It makes no sense to me"
"To compete with a different guide for a year now and then switch back to Lisi makes no sense to me. I'd rather stay mentally with my sister and focus on us both coming back – as an even stronger team," explains Veronika Aigner.
As soon as rehabilitation allows, the two want to train together on snow again to be ready for next year.
Veronika and Elisabeth Aigner have been considered one of the most successful duos in para skiing for years. Together, the two Lower Austrians celebrated eleven World Cup victories last season. At the 2022 Paralympic Games in Beijing, the sisters won two gold medals for Austria.
