Michelle Gisin recently married Luca De Aliprandini, Mikaela Shiffrin is in a relationship with Aleksander Aamodt Kilde and Thea Louise Stjernesund shares life with Timon Haugan. There is no shortage of couples in the ski world.
Recently, a new romance has enlivened the White Circus between Stephanie Jenal and Stefan Eichberger. The 28-year-old Swiss woman and the 25-year-old Austrian have been a couple for some time. They had already spilled the beans a few weeks ago during a vacation in the Dominican Republic.
This time, during their last stay in Croatia, the two skiers published their first photo together on social networks.
United in wounds
In addition to skiing, the two lovebirds unfortunately also share injuries. In January 2025, Stephanie Jenal tore her patella tendon during a fall in training. She then had to end her 2025-2026 season prematurely due to knee pain. So far, she has started 53 World Cup races. His best result is 10th place, obtained in 2023 during the Kvitfjell super-G.
His young partner is considered in Austria as a great hope likely to take over from Vincent Kriechmayr. At the start of last season, he hit a milestone, finishing three of the first four races in the top 7. Then came Val Gardena, where a cruciate ligament rupture ended his season.
Eichberger and Jenal took advantage of their vacation to spend some more time together. An opportunity that should become rarer in the weeks and months to come. Preparation for the season begins for both of them and, even during the winter, their calendars hardly provide for common competition venues.
