The 32-year-old currently enjoys skating as a hobby, but he still has athletic goals.

However, he has not yet regretted his retirement as a professional. “It was a great decision,” Meyer explained, adding, “Winning the Olympics last year was a big milestone for me. In February I thought I could retire, and then it was a theme again and again in the summer. It finally surprised me too that I got through it from this.” kind”.

Mayer’s sudden resignation

“That’s enough for me. I don’t bite anymore,” he said in an interview with Austrian TV station ORF.
