Switzerlands top gymnast Ariella Kaeslin has announced her retirement from gymnastics.?From the google translated version of the announcement on the Swiss Gymnastics Federation and? the Swiss Cup website:
The gymnast Ariella Kaeslin (23) after ten years in the?national team immediately announced the resignation of top sports.
There are many highlights of her career, no other Swiss gymnast was ever so successful. The three-time Swiss Sportswoman of the Year won at the 2009 world championships in London, silver on vault at the European Championships 2009 in Milan, gold on vault and bronze in the all around at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, she was an excellent fifth in the jump final.
The from Lucerne reasons for the resignation after ten years of professional sports with the words: ?I would not have been more able to operate with ultimately professional sports. So I would also claims that I make of me, can not comply. I have listened to my body and my heart and so made ??this decision. ?The years of total commitment and focus on only the goal to get better, have left their mark, both mentally and physically. Seven weeks ago, took a break Ariella Kaeslin. A break in the sense of a change of scenery, an active regeneration. She trained in the ?Swiss Olympic Sports Medical Base? in Lucerne and in the Regional Centres of Excellence (RLZ) in Littau and the residual maturity of Aargau in Niederlenz.
Now she has decided not to return to Magglingen and waives participation in the World Championships in Tokyo in early October and also on a possible qualification for the 2012 Olympics in London. ?So I come back with a laughing and a crying eye. First, it hurts to say goodbye, for others I am looking forward to their new life with its many perspectives. My future is as open as it did when I started with the top sports. I am full of beans and myself curious about what brings them to me. ?

Stingelin Felix, head of the Swiss elite sport Gymnastics Federation (STF) regrets that the most successful athlete of the year STV withdraws the Olympic qualifiers. ?Of course I respect their decision. Ariella Kaeslin was long active and has achieved great success for himself and the Swiss gymnastics. Thanks to her gymnastics women moved into the media light. For many gymnasts was and is a role model. I wish her ??all the best for the future ?for the future of the Swiss women?s gymnastics to make Felix Stingelin not worry.? We are confident going to the World Championships in Tokyo. The team will re-form around Giulia Steingruber. ? The adoption of Ariella Kaeslin takes place at a later date in an official setting.
Most recently Kaeslin won bronze on Vault at the European Championships and came 8th in the All Around competition at Worlds in 2010 and 4th on Vault. As explained in the announcement, the National Team will ?re-form? around Giulia Steingruber. What a pity that she will not be holding out for the 2011 Worlds or for London 2012. A beautiful gymnast, I?ll be sorry to see her go, as will many.
