Mireia Miró has decided to retire from the ski mountaineering elite competition and get involved in new projects connected with the mountain. Miró suffered an injury to her knee in September 2011 and since then hasn't fully recovered, and is therefore not able to bear the level required in elite competition. This has been a key factor in her decision

Mireia Miró said: “I am going to profit of the summer to do all those things I never had time to do and also to prepare new projects. I will take it easy so I can be in good shape for next season”. I am very happy for my results in the winter season. This is my third year in the highest level and I’ve achieved something difficult: stay on the top for all this time, and this is always challenging”.
