Kenneth Gangnes announces his retirement

He fought his way back to the top after various serious injuries, but now it was too much for 29-year-old Norwegian Kenneth Gangnes. "When the legs are not fit 100 %, it just doesn't make sense anymore", Gangnes explains his decision.

[...]

"We just couldn't find out what was caused the problems with the thigh. Something was not right with the muscle and it didn't get any better. Sometimes I even had problems climbing stairs. I had many sleepless nights due to this decision. Now I think it was the right thing to do and I can sleep better again. Even if it hurts tremendously. It's about 25 years of my life during which I pursued my goals and dreams", explains Gangnes, who started skiing at age 4, "at least I was able to achieve some of my goals."

We wish Kenneth all the best in the future!
