Jasmin Holtermann, a member of Denmark's women's curling team and an Olympic participant, has announced her retirement from the sport just two weeks before the World Championships.
In a surprising announcement two weeks ahead of the World Championships, Danish curler Jasmin Holtermann has declared her retirement from the sport. At just 26 years old, Holtermann was a significant member of Denmark's women's curling team and participated in the recent Winter Olympics held in Milan and Cortina. She shared her decision through a heartfelt post on Instagram, where she expressed gratitude for her journey and the experiences she has had over the past 12 years in the sport.
In her message, Holtermann reflected on her career, acknowledging that curling has played a major role in her life and that her time on the ice has been filled with unforgettable moments. She thanked her teammates for their camaraderie and support throughout the years. Holtermann's decision to step back from competitive curling comes at a crucial time, just before the World Championships set to take place in Canada from March 14-22.
Despite the impact of Holtermann's departure, team captain Madeleine Dupont reassured that this change will not affect the dynamics of the rest of the team as they prepare for the upcoming championship. The announcement has raised questions about the future of Denmark's curling program, particularly as they look to maintain their competitive edge in international play following Holtermann's exit.
