It is probably the most controversial action of the current sports year: because Emmentaler Christian Gerber (32) has a very big heart in addition to his muscular upper arms, he puts his ambitions for the first victory at the crown festival in the final round in the background. van Zeeland and leaves the festival victory to the outgoing king Christian Stucki (38).
30 seconds before the end, he endured a brief attack from Seeländer without resistance, then confessed to reporters in broad Bernese German that he had told Stucki, “So, hü, take me now!”
Gerber receives both praise and criticism
The trained butcher is therefore celebrated by many wrestlers. But the Emmentaler also receives a lot of criticism. “When Chrigu publicly admits that he deliberately let himself be pulled onto his back, it casts a bad light on swinging. And so Stucki’s farewell also has a bad aftertaste,” annoys wrestling king Nöldi Forrer (44). Others dismiss tanners as ” betting cheats”, which is definitely not true. There is no betting portal that offered the Zeeland.
However, with the gift to Stucki, Gerber may have robbed Adrian Walther and Matthieu Burger of a few notes. With a draw, the two would have inherited the festival victory. And there are more and more wrestlers who have negotiated bonuses for crown festival wins in their sponsorship contracts.
The reaction of the ESV boss
And the rules of the Federal Wrestling Association state in black and white: “Agreed courses and unworthy behavior must be punished. The court arbitrators report this behavior to the allocation court, which then decides on the measures to be taken. Wrestlers who fail may be banned from further competition and removed from the rankings. » Will Christian Gerber also be punished afterwards?
Stefan Strebel, in his capacity as technical director of the ESV, rejects: “Because Gerber only admitted his deliberate defeat after the game and the referee did not report any wrongdoing, we have no possibility to punish Gerber afterwards.” However, it is possible that after the Gerber case the ESV regulations will be revised in such a way that in the future not only the report of a referee can lead to a suspension of an athlete.
