Reto Schmidiger is happy about his first child.
The baby's name is also known.
Things aren't going so well for the slalom star on the slopes.
Munich – The ski family is growing: Reto Schmidiger became a father for the first time.
The Swiss slalom ace is struggling with his sporting performance this season, but things are going even better in his private life.
Ski star Schmidiger becomes a dad for the first time – two days before the night slalom in Schladming

reports, Schmidiger became a dad on January 22nd - just two days before his failure in the second round of the night slalom in Schladming.
Accordingly, the newborn boy's name is Nino.
His wife and mother Annina is said to have given birth to him in the early hours of the morning.

Baby news at Ski-Star: Colleagues congratulate on the offspring
Numerous ski colleagues congratulated the Schmidigers on the birth of their first child.
The former Austrian ski racer Marc Digruber left three hearts in the comment column.
The Swiss Wendy Holdener also sent congratulations, as did Olympic downhill champion Beat Feuz: “Yes, congratulations.” There was also offspring for Tina Weirather, the ex-ski ace and the popular TV expert who became a mother for the first time.
The joys of fatherhood could inspire Schmidiger on his way back to the top of the world, as recently things did not go as desired for the two-time junior world champion in slalom.
In addition to the failure in Schladming, the 31-year-old was eliminated in the first run in Kitzbühel and was also unable to make it into the second run of the night slalom in Madonna di Campiglio.

A similar fate recently befell Hanna Kebinger, the German biathlete was dropped from the DSV squad and missed the World Cup.

Even though top results have not been achieved so far, he has managed to return to the ski elite.
However, the World Cup is currently overshadowed by many injuries: a ski star bursts into tears after another orgy of falls.
