The 29-years-old race boarder declared in a media note sent by Swiss Ski last week that he has to stop his active career due to several reasons.
Besides various injuries and thus the hard time to fight back into the top of the world also financial pressure forced him to this decision. However, the 2010 Olympian who finished 19th in the parallel giant slalom in Vancouver, doesn't look back in anger. „The sport is a school for live of which I benefitted a lot," the Zürcher countryside resident said.
Two wins in five years
In addition, he also can be proud of two World Championships participations (2007 in Arosa, Switzerland and 2009 in Gangwon, Korea) as well as two top podium finishes, both achieved in Shukolovo, Russia, 2006 and 2007. Four more podium results round out his World Cup record data.
However, after five years on tour competing against the best carving specialist in the world, Iselin is pretty likely to continue being part of the circus, although he might have to play a different role. He will keep on focusing on the development of skis and snowboards - another career to start with after he had been competing on Blackpearl board, a brand he is involved in, in the last races.
