After gold at the World Championships
“Wanted my pants!” Bizarre request to ski lady
Wendy Holdener has already experienced a lot on the ski slopes of this world, but a fan request left the Swiss skier irritated, as she now tells us. A man wanted her leather pants of all things.
The incident happened some time ago, as Holdener reveals in the podcast "Wahrheit, Wein und Eisenring". "When I became combined world champion in 2017, I wore a kind of leather trousers on the podium. Later, I received a request by fan mail. One of them wanted my lederhosen because he collects women's lederhosen."
The 31-year-old had never been confronted with such a request before. "But I kept them," the irritated ski racer added. The Swiss woman was also open in the rest of the interview. For example, she explained her love for the "Italian way of driving", where things are not always "so orderly".
Hard times are behind her
The Swiss woman is still recovering from a difficult time. First, the 31-year-old tore her left ankle last December. Then, in February, her brother Kevin died of cancer at the age of just 34. These strokes of fate have left their mark.
When she made her comeback in Sölden, she read some old messages from her brother as special motivation before the race, as she revealed after the race. He continues to accompany her every day and the joy of skiing has now returned, says Holdener with a fighting spirit.
