Christian Stuki, with his sympathetic behavior, contributed to the flourishing of the struggle.

In the past, when people still had thick fur on their belly and back, they would put someone like Christian Stuck on hot stoves. And outside there was a sign: Here the bear is dancing!

Now the bear doesn’t dance anymore. A man with “sheikhs like oaks” and paws like a frying pan hangs a thong. He says, “Goodbye.” And leaves a gap of more than two meters and 145 kilograms.

A giant Seelander with a size 51 shoe was teased when he was in school. The life of a clumsy giant at a young age is not always easy. But Kriegel came to football, later to wrestling. And he taught everyone to be afraid.

Stucki has reached an unprecedented level of popularity in the sport. Because people quickly noticed that this gentle powerhouse with dry humor combines everything it takes to become a unifying figure for all social classes.

His shirt sleeves, his approachability and sense of family rightfully won him national sympathy. The “fraternal kiss” on the forehead of Matthias Sempach, who lost in the final round of the federation in Burgdorf, is the most beautiful gesture of justice in the history of Swiss sports.

His dream of becoming king collapsed at that time. But he felt that another boyish dream had come true. This honest and spontaneous joy for a competitor is a trait that has become rare. Luckily, Stuki became king in 2019.

“Possible” buddy next door

“Kriegel” is not one of the stubborn exemplary athletes. Like many wrestling friends, he has two to three grams more in the hip area. With his stoic composure, he is always ready to be the buddy next door. When he leaves the ring of sawdust now, you will want to hug him.

Stuki, who was too big and too heavy, who had such a hard time saying no, and who always wanted to please everyone, was underestimated for years. Nobody else will make this mistake.

Because Stuki is also a smart businessman. His commitment to the mineral springs in Adelboden is another milestone. And shows that the gentle giant carelessly enters the next stage of life.

I hope he keeps swinging too. National sport has flourished for many years thanks to guys like this bearded Zeelander.
