Andy Murray rescued after getting stuck skiing in Swiss Alps

Andy Murray recently faced a humorous mishap during his first skiing holiday, requiring rescue from the Swiss Alps after getting stranded. The retired tennis star, who took up skiing post-retirement, shared his experience on Sir Chris Hoy's podcast, revealing that he struggled with basic skiing skills, particularly getting off lifts and stopping. On the first day, after missing the last ski lift, he and his brother-in-law attempted to navigate a daunting 3km slope, leading to a chaotic descent where Murray shouted for help. He described the experience as 'embarrassing,' especially since rescue teams typically deal with more serious situations. Despite the challenging start, Murray reported no injuries and seems determined to embrace new hobbies like skiing. His candid recounting of the ordeal has provided a lighthearted glimpse into his transition from a sports legend to a novice skier.
