A personal era has come to an end…
Ξ March 26th, 2010 | → 3 Comments | ∇ Uncategorized |
After a life with two skis on my feet I feel like a personal era is past and a turningpoint in my career has come. These skis have brought me to places that people only dream of and I feel very fortunate that I have had the opportunity to be one of the foremost in my sport. When I look back I can see a lot of great success in a sport that has developed from an idea of crazy people and have made the transformation beeing a sport that cut the criteria and stept up beeing in the Olympics.
Victories in the X-Games and Worldchampionships are medals that I will carry for the rest of my life and I am really proud of this.
As the sport went into the Olympics this was a dream come true and I had a goal of bringing one of those medals home. I gave it my best and ended up in 4:th, feels hard at the moment but I will look back at it in a few years with great memories.
Through out the years I have taken a lot of beating and with several hard injuries I´ve made it back for the love of the sport. After a crash at the race in Grindelwald I now sit back and find myself once again with a operated ACL and I am looking at a sommer of rehab, once again. I have come to the point in my career when health is to become a matter of my future well beeing.
And I feel that skiing in the future will take place in the company of good friends on a mountain somewhere instead of in a competetive inviroment.
I hereby announce my retirement from the beautyful sport of skier-x and I am looking at the future with new eyes.
I will now step into and work with the company POC that I through the last year have been working alot with.
I will also continue working as Athlete representative for the FIS(Freestyle).
So I will be apart of the sport in some way consulting, I also feel that my knowledge can be of use for further development in Ski Cross.
Greets, Karin Huttary.

Hallo Karin,
habe gerade Deinen Text auf der Webseite gelesen. So faszinierend du als Sportlerin bist/ warst::(( bist Du scheinbar auch als Persönlichkeit. Wünsche Dir jedenfalls viel Gesundheit und Glück für Deinen mit Sicherheit erfolgreichen weiteren Lebensweg.
In diesem Sinne toi, toi, toi….
P.s. Durch Deine Performance in Vancouver hast Du unglaublich viel Werbung für DEINEN Sport gemacht.
