Nadal switches to skiing 26 years later

As he has acknowledged on multiple occasions, the life of Rafa Nadal cannot be separated from sports. Even though he is now away from the courts, the Balearic native remains linked to a world that has given him everything. After being spotted a few weeks ago at the men's final of the Australian Open, where he witnessed Carlos Alcaraz's first coronation, this time the manacorí has traded his tennis racket for skis, marking his return to the snowy slopes 26 years later, as Rafa himself mentioned on his Instagram account.
