Petra Vlhova, coach issue statement: ‘Our doors are different’

Petra Vlhova and coach Livio Magoni issued a joint statement that appears to signal the end of their working relationship, three weeks after Vlhova became the first Slovakian to win Alpine skiing’s biggest annual prize, the World Cup overall title.

“It was a long and rocky road towards what we all so desperately wanted,” was posted on Vlhova’s social media. “Eventually, the dream came true and I hold a Big globe in my hands.

“Amazing 5 years with you Livio, during which I learned a lot. I am immensely grateful for your time, your infinite energy, perfectionism and the hope you have constantly placed in me.
