Muriel Grässli (born April 23, 1987 in Fehraltorf ) is a Swiss volleyball and beach volleyball player .

Career

Grässli began her volleyball career at the age of ten in the hall. She moved from her home club Volley efi to VBC Voléro Zurich . After being promoted to National League A in the 2003/04 season, she became Swiss champion a year later. In 2007 she went to VBC Aadorf.

Grässli played her first international beach volleyball tournaments in 2003 in Pattaya and in 2004 in Gstaad with Romana Kayser . At the tournaments in Gstaad, Lausanne and Vaduz in 2005 , she had Sabrina Metzger , Kay-Yasmin Schmid and Nadine Zumkehr by her side. In the same year, Grässli also celebrated her first beach successes as a young player. She won the national U21 championship in Winterthur and achieved top positions at the U20 European championships in Tel Aviv (fifth) and at the U21 world championships in Rio de Janeiro (fourth). In 2006 she played with Nadia Erni and reached the final of the U20 European Championship. In the following year, Grässli and Erni took 37th place in front of their home crowd at the World Cup in Gstaad . They finished the European Championship in Valencia in 17th place. In addition, Grässli became Swiss champion and received an award from the association as the best young player (“Youngster of the Year”). At the end of the year she separated from Erni.

In the 2008 season she and her new partner Nadine Zumkehr reached 17th place at the European Championships in Hamburg and three top ten placements in Laredo , Marseille and Kristiansand . Since Zumkehr played alongside Simone Kuhn in the national duo the following season , Grässli joined Tanja Guerra-Schmocker in 2009 . At the World Championships in Stavanger , the duo did not get past 37th place and because the other results were also moderate, Guerra-Schmocker announced her resignation at the end of the year.

In Blackpool , Grässli competed with 19-year-old Tanja Goricanec due to the failure of both partners . Since the Gstaad Open 2010, the Swiss women, who met at the association's national performance center in Bern , have formed a solid duo that finished ninth at the European Championships in Berlin . Since June 2010, Grässli, like her young teammate, has been sponsored by the “Golden Talents” initiative. At the 2011 World Cup, Grässli / Goricanec were eliminated in the main round against the later finalists Larissa / Juliana .

After the 2012 season, Grässli / Goricanec announced their separation. Since 2013, Grässli has formed a duo with Kayser again. The reunited Swiss women were eliminated from the 2013 World Cup in Stare Jabłonki without a win after the preliminary round.

Private

Grässli has been studying business administration as a combined distance learning program at the Swiss Distance University of Applied Sciences since autumn 2009 .
