Podium in Japan: skater Wenger with successful start to the season

class=”sc-29f61514-0 dXbCZE”>

Just missed out on victory: Livio Wenger finished a strong third place at the start of the season.

The skating season starts this year in Ohibiro, Japan, and from a Swiss perspective it could hardly be launched better. Livio Wenger finished third in the mass start and missed victory by three-hundredths of a second.

The 30-year-old from Lucerne only has to admit defeat to winner Bart Hoolwerf (25, Netherlands) and his Belgian namesake Bart Swings (32, Olympic champion).
