Camille Rast: From the dark to the radiant World Cup victory!

CAMALLE RAST, the 25-year-old ski driver from Switzerland, has reached a highlight of her career with her first World Cup victory in Killington. After her impressive appearance, in which she first took third place and won the following day in the slalom, she cheered: "It's just crazy!" Just a week earlier, she had achieved her first podium in Gurgel and is now at the top of the overall World Cup. However, her way to success was anything but easy, as Today.at .

As a teenager, Rast fought with health problems, including the Pfeiffer glandular fever, which she threw back in 2018 and forced the season early. This resulted in severe depression that she experienced as "inside". Rast felt "useless" and without energy, and struggle even during training to avoid nobody, led to an emotional low point from which it ultimately only came with psychological help. "I was afraid of my own thoughts," she confessed in the magazine "athlete". After years of fight against setbacks and injuries, she now seems to have finally made the breakthrough, reports watson.ch .

Rast's return in the winter of 2020/21 was drawn by further difficulties, including a cruciate ligament tear and an unsuccessful change of brand. But this season she felt really healthy and fit for the first time in years. This immediately showed on the slopes because it catapulted itself to the top of the World Cup with consistently good performances. Her latest triumph in Killington, combined with strong placements before, shows the potential that is made of it: "It makes a huge difference," said Rast, who after years of doubt and the fighting now acts with confidence. After all, her support and determination lead to not only being one of the best skiers in the world, but also gaining full control over her career.
