I never wanted my story to end like this.

The moment I’ve feared for so long has arrived. I thought I was ready… but the truth is: you can’t prepare for something like this.

And not having achieved what I dreamed of makes it even harder.
I never wanted to stop for reasons like these.

This decision has nothing to do with losing my love for bobsleigh. Not injury. Not money.
But over time, the frustration kept building.. until it became too heavy to carry. The results played only a small part of it.

I love being an athlete. Chasing dreams. Taking risks. Showing up every day to get closer to your goals. And maybe inspiring someone else to dream big, too.

Because what is an athlete without their people?

Coaches. Sponsors. Physios. Mechanics. Family. Friends.
and in my case; my team. The very first brakemen/women who went through my tough beginning. Those I shared my greatest successes with, supported, and celebrated with me.
Because of you, I became one of the most successful Swiss bobsleigh pilot in history.
And my gratitude is bigger than words will ever be.

I will miss it all. The people. The friendships. The moments I laughed until I cried… and the ones where I needed someone to hold me together.

My first run in St. Moritz. Long drives and deep conversations. Overtired nights where everything felt funny. And that one unforgettable moment— Double European Championship gold with @nadjapasternack in 2women.

And not to forget… I will miss the feeling on the ice. The speed. The adrenaline. The incomparable feeling behind the steerings.

Trusting God was the best thing I could do in this career.
He promised me something: JOY.

Even when it was hard. Even when frustration felt stronger than me.
Somehow, I always knew He wants me to be right here. And it was so worth it..

This decision takes more courage than anything I’ve ever faced.
But hear me when I say this:

I’m not disappearing.

I will stay an athlete.
I will keep dreaming big.

…just not in bobsleigh.

Thank you—for everything 💜 by @melaniiexe

Day 1 after 105 days without running 🏃🏽‍♀️

Have my broken vertebrae healed? I don’t know.
Did we do an MRT? Nope.
Did my doctor give me the go-ahead? Yes.

So, all I can do now is trust the professionals.

I’m honestly super excited, but also a little unsure about the whole situation.
Still, it feels SO GOOD to run again.🔥

My technique might be completely gone, but who cares? 😂

So… this is Day 1 after my back injury.

I can’t wait to get back to improving my long jump!

Sometimes we get so caught up in everything we haven’t achieved yet that we forget to look at how far we’ve already come.

Don’t let the next goal make you blind to the progress you’ve already made.

God has given me gifts, and I refuse to leave any of them unexplored.🔥

So why limit myself to one or two sports?
Why settle for the path everyone else takes?
Why stay inside my comfort zone?

Growth begins where comfort ends.🫱🏽‍🫲🏻

Switching from bobsleigh to track and field is a big challenge.
It’s uncertain.
It’s uncomfortable.
And with an injury along the way, it definitely isn’t the easy road.

But I’ve never been interested in easy.🙂‍↔️

One thing I know for sure:
I refuse to place limits where God has placed none. by @melaniiexe

This season has forced me to slow down in a way I never chose.

For years, progress was something I could see, measure and work for.

Now I can’t. And it‘s strange..

So I’m learning that being an athlete isn’t only about performance.

Sometimes it’s about patience.
About keeping the goal in sight.
About finding joy in the process — even when joy needs to be *chosen* every day.

Month 2 of 3 till my next appointment..

not a morning person, just unfortunately committed to a sport that requires mornings 🥲

A little more honesty behind the highlights🩷

I’m in such an exciting chapter of my life, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the opportunities, challenges and new beginnings that come with it.

But the truth is: not every day feels like a step forward. Not every day is like blast. Sometimes I feel lost, insecure, overwhelmed or simply tired.

And I think that’s a reality we don’t see enough on social media.
So be careful who you compare yourse with.

So here’s a little reminder: you can be incredibly grateful for your life and still have hard days. Both can be true. 🤍 by @melaniiexe

Today is the day🫡

Vier Jahre Zeitmilitär – ein Kapitel, das heute zu Ende geht.

Die Möglichkeit, meinen Sport im Rahmen des Zeitmilitärs ausüben zu dürfen, war ein grosses Privileg.

@armee.ch_sport hat mir die Chance gegeben, mich auf das Wesentliche zu konzentrieren – zu trainieren, zu inspirieren, an den höchsten Wettkämpfe teilzunehmen und meine grössten Träume wahr werden zu lassen.💭

Ich bin wahnsinnig dankbar für diese Chance!

Heute endet dieses Kapitel. 📘
Gleichzeitig beginnt ein neues. 📖

Meine Ziele sind nach wie vor gross, und ich freue mich darauf, den nächsten Abschnitt meiner Reise mit derselben Leidenschaft und Überzeugung anzugehen.❤️‍🔥
