Former overall World Cup ski champion Nicole Hosp retires (The Associated Press)
Austrian skier Nicole Hosp says she’s retiring, less than four months after winning her 12th medal at a major championship. The 31-year-old Hosp, who won the 2007 overall title, took silver in the combined event at the worlds in Beaver Creek in February, repeating her achievement from the Olympics a year before. A year after winning the overall championship in 2007, Hosp finished runner-up to Lindsey Vonn as the American clinched her first of four overall titles.
