©GEPA: Nelly Moenne-Loccoz (FRA)

The SBX team event world champion from Sierra Nevada 2017 (together with team mate Chloe Trespeuch) and SBX vice-world champion of 2011 (La Molina, ESP) and 2015 (Kreischberg, AUT) decided to end her career as professional snowboard cross athlete.

Nelly Moenne-Loccoz made her World Cup debut in 2008 in Bad Gastein (AUT). In the same year, only the following season, she grabbed her first World Cup career podium in Arosa (SUI).

After 12 years on the World Cup circuit, in which she claimed 83 World Cup starts with 22 podiums and 3 victories, the 30-year-old French states she wishes to explore new things in life, leaving professional sport behind.

Moenne-Loccoz also won the snowboard cross Crystal Globe in her very successful season 2014/15 and is a three-time Olympian of Vancouver (CAN) 2010, Sochi (RUS) 2014 and PyeongChang (KOR) 2018.

The retirement was announced via Instagram on the account of the French SBX Team.

Notre Championne du Monde "Team Event" (2017) et double vice Championne du Monde (2015, 2011), @nellymoenneloccoz , a décidé de mettre fin à sa carrière sportive. L'ensemble de la Fédération Française de Ski - FFS (@fedfranceski )tient à la remercier pour son parcours d’athlète de haut niveau et l’esprit d’équipe dont elle a fait preuve toutes ces années. Nous lui apporterons tout notre soutien dans ses projets futurs. Voici la lettre qu'elle vous adresse : "J’ai décidé de mettre un terme à ma carrière sportive. Étonnamment, cette décision assez facile s’est imposée à moi. Je crois que le moment était venu après plus de dix ans en Equipe de France. Mes aspirations ont évolué et j’ai envie de m’investir dans de nouveaux projets. Je ne remercierai jamais assez la vie pour ces 15 années. Grâce au sport, j’ai côtoyé des athlètes exceptionnels qui m’ont beaucoup inspiré, vécu des émotions hors du commun, appris sur les Hommes et sur moi -même. Le goût de l’effort, l’investissement, la résilience, le partage, toutes ces choses qui m’ont tellement servies et qui me serviront pour la suite. Je tenais à remercier particulièrement tous les employés de la Fédération Française de Ski - FFS et de Snowboard qui travaillent dans l’ombre pour que nous, athlètes, n’ayons qu’à nous concentrer sur notre performance, le staff de l'Equipe de France de Snowboard Cross, ainsi que mes partenaires et sponsors qui m’ont suivi tout au long de ma carrière sportive et avec qui je compte bien continuer à collaborer dans ma nouvelle vie. Au delà de ce discours très entendu, je voudrais remercier tous les humains qui ont contribué à cette magnifique aventure. Utiliser le terme « humains » n’est pas feint. La secrétaire de la FFS, l’entraineur, le préparateur physique, le médecin, le partenaire, tous sont avant tout des femmes et des hommes qui travaillent autour de l'athlète pour lui permettre de gagner. Ils sourient et vibrent. Tous unis par cette passion du sport de haut niveau. Je suis tellement fière de ce que l’on a réussi à accomplir ensemble. Lire la suite ici : bit.ly/2SVMG1V
