Career

Esther Neuenschwander became Swiss champion for the first time in 2005 and then played at the 2006 World Cup as lead in Silvana Tirinzoni's Swiss team; the Swiss women finished tenth. After winning the Swiss championships in 2007 and 2013, she played at the subsequent world championships with Tirinzoni as skip for Switzerland and was fifth both times.

In 2008 she played at the Mixed European Championship as a substitute for Christian Moser's team ; the team took seventh place.

At her first European women's championship in 2017, she finished fourth with the Tirinzoni team after losing the game for third place against the Italians led by Diana Gaspari .

In October 2017, she and the Tirinzoni team won the Swiss elimination competition for participation in the  2018 Winter Olympics . She and her teammates Silvana Tirinzoni (Skip), Manuela Siegrist (Third), and Marlene Albrecht (Lead) prevailed against the teams of  Alina Pätz  and  Binia Feltscher  and represented Switzerland in  Pyeongchang . There she and her teammates came in seventh after four wins and five defeats in the Round Robin .

At the European Championships in 2018 she won the silver medal with the Swiss team after a final defeat against the Swedes around Anna Hasselborg . The revenge was achieved at the 2019 World Cup : the Swedish curlers were defeated 8: 7 in the final, which meant the world championship title.
