The saying "unlucky in cards, lucky in love" comes up again and again in the world of sports. And it also fits Priska Nufer-Ming's current situation well. The Swiss speed specialist is going through a difficult time on the slopes, but in her private life she's on cloud nine.

It was announced a few weeks ago that the 206-time World Cup starter is no longer part of the Swiss national team. The winner of the 2022 Crans-Montana downhill. was very crestfallen after that bitter pill. However, giving up is not an option for Nufer-Ming; she intends to attack on her own next winter.

The 34-year-old can count on a great deal of support: her husband, Patrick Ming. On the couple's second wedding anniversary, the skier posted an emotional declaration of love on Instagram. "Today is a very special day, our wedding anniversary. A good opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for every single moment we have been able to experience together. For all the laughter, the unforgettable memories, and the many little moments that make our life together so special," wrote Nufer-Ming.

Support in difficult times

The Swiss woman explains that her husband is a great support, even in difficult moments. "Above all, I thank you for the times that weren't always easy. We mastered them together and grew from them. Thank you for always being by my side, believing in me, and supporting me. Thank you that I can always rely on you and that you always have my back. With you, I feel at home everywhere, no matter where we are," she says emotionally.
