Anna Gasser: Freedom before family! A look at their exciting home World Cups!

Anna Gasser, the double Olympic champion in snowboarding, is confident about her home World Cups in Big Air in Klagenfurt on January 5th and on the Kreischberg on January 11th. For the 33-year-old, these events are not only sporting highlights, but also an opportunity to prove herself in her home country. "That's really cool. We even have three home events because we also got a slopestyle in the Absolut Park in Flachauwinkl in March," said Gasser, who is impressed by the excitement of the upcoming competitions. The athlete confessed that being able to train just an hour away from home is a luxury and that she appreciates being able to recharge with her family during the holiday season, as she explained in a recent interview.

Family planning and sporting ambitions

While Anna Gasser is preparing for the competitions, family planning is still a secondary priority for her. "I want a family, but that can be a little later. Now I can still enjoy life, I'm so free, and so is Clemens," she said to her partner Clemens Millauer. The two don't want to combine the stress of professional sports with starting a new family. “It would be unimaginable for me if I had a baby that I would still take this risk,” emphasized Gasser. She plans to focus fully on her career before potentially starting a family and expects to be ready in two years. “35 is actually a good age,” Gasser continued.

The anticipation for the big event and the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy is unbroken. Anna Gasser is aware of the challenges that come with her sport, especially at such a high level of performance, and enjoys being part of the competitive environment. "I'm happy that we also have young talent in Austria. There are four of us starting in Klagenfurt," she added. These announcements are not only a sign of their dedication to the sport, but also of their positive attitude towards the further development of the sport and their own role in it krone.at reported.
