In February 2022, she won the gold medal in the women's super slalom of alpine skiing at the Beijing Winter Olympics, allowing Switzerland's Behrami to achieve herself, and the 30-year-old said that this was the last Winter Olympics of her career, but the gold medal was not all for herself.
Behrami
Behrami said: "Very happy, it was a really good day. The race was very intense, and I just wanted to glide well. It was the last time I would participate in the Women's Super Slalom at the Winter Olympics, and the moment I crossed the finish line, I was very excited. ”
In fact, Behrami's competitive state is not very stable. She said she would love to be able to win a medal and that her super big slalom has not been very good in past Winter Olympics. "I didn't think I'd be able to win the cards, I didn't have this mentality of revenge, even if it was the last Winter Olympics of my career, I didn't think too much about what it really meant for my career."
Behrami on the field
Once the young Behrami was a supernova of alpine skiing in the world, but with the loss of time, Behrami suffered many setbacks. "As the game goes on, for example, if I win ten games, it will be difficult to win one more game because you have become the target of the opponent and others expect more and more from you," she said. How to say it, in growing up, there is really a feeling of reincarnation, sometimes I will lose myself, and I also think about whether I should respect the advice of others. ”
You know, Behrami once had a serious accident on the field. Later, Behrami met her husband, the former Swiss international Behrami. Behrami said: "This allows me to rediscover the rhythm of life, to re-examine myself, to think with a new perspective on life." A big injury can sometimes change lives, and it's good to win a championship, but I can't always think about gold medals in my life. I love skiing, but skiing isn't the whole story of my life. I'm a person, I have other passions, I've been training every day in my athletic career, but that's not all I've had in my life. ”
Some time before the Beijing Winter Olympics, Behrami suspended the game. She said: "I did encounter difficulties, or I would go home to recover, or I would have another accident at the venue, and I don't think I would have any more accidents." So, I went home, recharged at home, and my family and friends were supportive and helped me a lot. ”
On February 11, 2022, the returning Behrami finally won the championship. She sighed: "I finally won the Olympic title, which made me enjoy my career even more. For me, 15 years of skiing has been a very memorable moment indeed. Alpine skiing, which really takes a lot of motivation to constantly inspire your own events. Skiing has also given me a lot of fun, and I've done what I can do, and it's something I like to do, and that's enough. ”
