The Salt Lake 2002 gold medallist and Torino 2006 bronze medallist has opted not to compete in September's World Cup Aerials in Mt Buller, bringing to a close the most successful career in Australian winter sports history.
Camplin made the announcement in New Idea magazine, saying that "Torino was a fairytale ending, so it seems the perfect place to finish".

As well as her history-making back-to-back Olympic medals, the 31-year-old Melbourne skier leaves behind a remarkable record that includes ten World Cup victories, two World Cup titles and a World Championship title.
