Having her career limited because of various injuries, she was forced to retire in 2018 due to back problems after more than one year of inactivity.[1] After retiring from professional sports, she began studying psychology; in the following years, she publicly disclosed the difficulties she encountered following her early retirement from competitions, a situation that led her to a period of depression, during which she lamented the substantial lack of assistance and support from the major Swiss sports organizations, such as Swiss Ski and the Swiss Olympic Association.[2]
