The Former European jump record holder Sebastien Di Pasqua (Switzerland) has decided to bring his career to an end at 34 years-old. This decision was taken after a right knee injury.
''It is a hard step for many athletes, but from my point of view, I see it more as the end of a great adventure. I will always be thankful towards this sport that has brought so much to me.

The Doctors made me realize that if I do not impose myself some rest, I would jeopardise my chances of being healthy for the rest of my life; otherwise, by giving my knee some rest from all the hits taken by going over the ramp, that would help me recover 100%. From that moment on, my decision was then taken. Without any doubt, being healthy is a top priority for me, and I couldn’t  imagine my future without practicing some other recreational sports like snow skiing, mountain bike, paragliding and others...

Today I am relieved to be able to move on at the right time, and can’t wait to idealize new challenges for new horizons that are just the beginning of a new life for me.''

Sebastien will pursue his University Degree in Athletic Training this October.
