Thank you Leonie for everything you have given - and we wish you every success in your next adventure
We will miss you but you will never be forgotten.
Mogul skiing will be losing a very special young lady for sure ❤️🙏🏻❤️
I never thought at 25 I would be writing this but here we go.
I started Mogul skiing when I was 9 years old,
always dreaming, never stopped believing.
My journey was not the one I expected or ever dreamed of. Setback after setback, I started doubting myself. Reaching the highest level felt impossible.
It has been tremendously hard to make the decision to retire from competitive skiing knowing mogul skiing has been my passion, my focus and all my life. Moving on from a sport I loved but one that has completely broken me and left me incomplete with goals not achieved is heartbreaking.
The one thing I am proud of is overcoming everything life threw at me from a young age. I understood what passion, commitment, determination and grit was all about.
I know my time has come as my body and mind no longer can cope with the impact of mogul skiing and the risks involved in this sport. I gave it my all.
That little girl in this photo is when I first learnt to ski, little did she know all the battles she had to face nor that one day she would become a World Cup Skier and Olympian.
I am extremely grateful for the support I have had throughout the years. Representing my country on the World Cup circuit and the Olympic Games was an honour.
Thank you to all those who supported and believed in me. Thank you to all my coaches, physios, S&C coaches, my psychologists and my sponsors.
To Mum & Dad, thank you for all the support and opportunities I have had, I will forever be grateful.
To Tom and Kayla, having you both by my side on this journey was a dream and I couldn't have comeback as many times as I did without you both. Thank you for always having my back and supporting me.
Words don't describe how proud I am of you both. It was a pleasure to travel around the World with you two, competing in the sport we all love so much. I will deeply miss it.
Thank you to all the mogul skiing community, it was a pleasure meeting you all.
Thank you Mogul Skiing, merci!
A door closes, but a new one opens...

FR: Merci à tous ceux qui m'ont soutenu durant ma carrière de ski. Ce n'était pas celui dont je rêvais mais j'aurais tout donné et j'ai énormément appris.
Merci à tous mes coaches, kiné, prep physique, prep mentale et partenaires.
Une page se tourne mais une nouvelle s'ouvre...
