A dream Alpine ski couple is engaged and ended their careers together, a ZDF reporter once “warned” of a possible marriage and its consequences.

Update from March 23:

As reported by Merkur.de on January 20, the ski reporter Julius Hilfenhaus made a tongue-in-cheek comment about the relationship between the two ski stars Travis Ganong and Marie-Michèle Gagnon.

He said: "We want to be the last

(of the transmission, editor's note

) to accompany Marie-Michele Gagnon here.

The Canadian is engaged to American skier Travis Ganong.

I hope she doesn't go for a double name, that's going to be tricky for us reporters."

The two have not yet married, but ended their careers together.

"We haven't married yet, it was a symbolic final race."

The two skied down the slope in a wedding dress and suit.

After their departure in Andorra, the winter sports couple is currently hanging out in Barcelona.

What they will be called in the future is still not clear.

Aid house and colleagues hope for a simple solution.

Ski dream couple engaged: ZDF reporter is afraid of a possible double name after the wedding

First report from January 20th:

Cortina/Kitzbühel – On January 20th, the skiers were almost at the same time on the descent.

While the women tumbled down the slope a bit earlier in Veneto on Friday morning, the men were on the Streif shortly before the noon gong.

Since some winter sports enthusiasts are in a relationship with each other, they could not support each other.

For example, Mikaela Shiffrin and Aleksander Aamodt Kilde are a couple.

The American and Norwegian are also racking up wins, but not on January 20th.

Kilde fell back from error, as did Shiffrin.

Another couple is a little less well-known than the two superstars, but they are further along in their relationship.

Marie-Michele Gagnon from Canada loves Travis Ganong from the USA.

At the wedding, a journalist hopes that the couple will give up one thing.

Ski dream couple in front of double names?

"That would be tricky"

At the women's descent in Cortina, ZDF reporter Julius Hilfenhaus said when Gagnon started with number 25: "We want to be the last (of the

transmission, editor's note

) to accompany Marie-Michele Gagnon here.

The Canadian is engaged to American skier Travis Ganong.

I hope she doesn't go for a double name, that's going to be tricky for us reporters."

Shortly after the request from Hilfenhaus, the Canadian fell, but she saved herself and got off lightly.

It was worse for Corinne Suter, who caused horrified faces among her competitors.

The later winner Sofia Goggia clasped her hands over her head, Federica Brignone turned away, Lara Gut-Behrami was frozen when Suter suddenly took off and slid into the safety fence.

But then there was a slight all-clear, except for minor injuries on her face, which were caught by cameras, she was able to start the descent herself and did not have to be picked up by the helicopter.

The ski couple's engagement took place on the Matterhorn in 2021

Whether Gagnon and Ganong really adopt a double name is not known.

Ganong is 34 years old and celebrated his greatest downhill success with silver at the 2015 World Ski Championships.

He will not have noticed the fall of his Marie-Michele, because shortly afterwards he opened the Streif with starting number 1. The 33-year-old Gagnon celebrated a few podium finishes in her career and won two combinations.

The two have been engaged since 2021. On September 15, the North American posted his kneeling from Central Europe in Zermatt on the Matterhorn.

TV reporters will now take a close look at when the ski clothes are exchanged for a wedding dress and suit and whether there is then the Gagnon-Ganong or Ganong-Gagnon family.
