"Not much desire"
Lack of motivation! ÖSV Olympian takes a break
Snowboarder Benjamin Karl lacks motivation ++ He's skipping the next races ++ But the World Championships in St. Moritz are still firmly in his sights!
Benjamin Karl is undisputedly one of the most successful snowboarders of all time. His first World Cup victory came in 2008, and from then on there was no stopping him.
In the same year, Karl celebrated his first overall World Cup victory. More followed in 2010 and 2011, and in 2022 he fulfilled his big dream by winning the Olympic Games in South Korea. Last season, the now 39-year-old claimed his fourth overall World Cup victory.
"Don't feel much like racing at the moment!"
Now, however, the Olympic champion lacks motivation. On the eve of the home World Cup in Bad Gastein, he left without further ado. "When I'm at the start, I don't really feel like racing at the moment. That's why I'm taking a break to re-motivate myself," said the boarder.
He is skipping the event in Salzburg and the upcoming races in Bulgaria, but still has his sights firmly set on the World Championships in St. Moritz. "Now I'm just going to go snowboarding as normal and I'm sure I'll find the joy again."
