Alpine skiing-Maze to take year’s break from glittering career (Reuters)
Double Olympic champion Tina Maze announced on Thursday that she has decided to take a year-long break from one of the most successful careers in skiing to consider her future. “I will allow myself a one year break before taking any further decision.” Maze, who finished second in the women’s overall World Cup standings in March, said she would devote the coming months to completing her university studies and working for her sponsors. Maze’s decision puts a question mark over a glittering career which reached a hight point with last year’s golds in both the downhill and giant slalom at the Sochi Olympics.
