Big blow in first gear: Giger makes his comeback on the Rigi Schwinget

1/6
Samuel Giger makes his comeback.

At the beginning of June, Samuel Giger (25) tore a muscle fiber during a workout. And that just a few days after he celebrated the first Kranzfest victory of the season on the Glarner-Bündner.

As a result, he missed the Northeastern Swiss wrestling festival and the Stoos-Schwinget, among others. But now the Thurgau is fit again and returns to the sawdust on the Rigi. Last year he missed the mountain classic due to a neck injury.

His first task? A steep one. In first gear he meets defending champion Joel Wicki (26). But: His record against the king is positive, he has never lost to him in five duels. Two wins versus three positions. Most recently, the two came together at the 2022 Basel-Stadt – Giger won by a flat throw.

Wicki goes to the party as the top favorite. In addition to Giger, Pirmin Reichmuth (27) and Damian Ott (23) also want to challenge the king for victory.

Staudenmann favorite in Frutigen

The other wrestler, who won five wrestling festivals this season with Wicki, is the big favorite in the sawdust in the Bernese Oberland in Frutigen. The first opponent of Fabian Staudenmann (23) is Bernhard Kampf (35). With Kilian Wenger (33), the other still active king is also participating. He starts against Christian Gerber (32).

A third wreath celebration will take place next Sunday with the Canton of Appenzell in Oberegg. These top couples are not yet known. (bir)
