Snowboard star Ulbing ends career: a farewell with foresight!

Kärnten, Österreich - The Carinthian Snowboarder Ulbing has officially announced the end of her sporting career today. In a moving statement, she explained that “the couple percent” was missing to give everything in preparation. She emphasized that it was the right time to set new priorities and still wants to ride for victories and podium places in the coming winter.

Ulbing looks back on a successful career, which is peppered with numerous highlights. In 2017 she became world champion in the parallel slalom in the Sierra Nevada and reached second place in the parallel giant slalom at the 2023 World Championship in Bakuriani. Overall, she can refer to eleven World Cup victories and three small crystal balls, which her remarkable performance in the international Snowboard-weltcup illustrates.

A look at Ulbing's career

The decision to end her active career was not easy Ulbing, but she sees this as the first step into a new phase. Despite the end of the career, she plans to remain true to the snowboard and pass on her experience to the next generation. The development of young talents in snowboarding has gained importance in recent years, especially in view of the challenges with which athletes are faced with.

Young talent and development play a central role in sports psychology. In research, it is increasingly recognized in research that talent diagnoses based only on competition services are not sufficient. The development of athletes is influenced by various factors such as school and family, according to the report by ISPW . Scientific studies in alpine ski racing aim to better define the talent criteria and thus optimize the promotion of young talent.

future prospects

Although Ulbing leaves an era of her life behind, she remains optimistic about the future. Thanks to the experience she gained in competition and training, she wants to help young athletes develop her own careers. It is important that talented athletes receive the necessary support to achieve their goals and exploit the potential. Ulbing's decision could also serve as an impetus for improved young talent work in winter sports.
