Olympic champions Beat Feuz and Matthias Mayer have both decided to retire, the International Ski Federation (FIS) announced on Monday.

Switzerland's Feuz, 35, who won the men's downhill at the Beijing Winter Games, said events in Wengen and Kitzbuehel, Switzerland, will be his final races, according to FIS.

Four-time reigning World Cup downhill champion Feuz timed one minute and 42.69 seconds at Beijing 2022 to win his only Olympic gold medal.

Austria's Mayer, 32, announced his retirement during a snow inspection for last Thursday's race in Bormio, Italy.

Mayer took gold in the downhill at Sochi 2014, and then did so in the Super-G at PyeongChang 2018, before retaining the latter title at Beijing 2022.
