Noè Ponti (22) traveled to Bucharest at the beginning of December for the European Championships with the aim of a gold medal. He returned to Switzerland on Monday with three gold medals and one silver medal in his luggage.
Ponti really became a goldfish in Romania. In his flagship discipline, dolphin, he achieved victory in all three lengths: 50 meters, 100 meters and 200 meters. He is the first European to achieve this triple.
The swimmer was greeted at Zurich airport by a large crowd of fans. But it wasn’t until Tuesday evening that he returned to his home in Ticino – and was welcomed there with a big party. At home in Gambarogno, Ponti’s family invited about fifty friends and relatives to surprise the unsuspecting golden hero.
Now Ponti can rest for a few days on his success. He wants to give himself some time to recover over Christmas before traveling to St. Moritz GR for altitude training in the New Year. For this he will skip the World Cup in Doha in February. His focus is already completely on the Olympic Games. As the fastest European, Noè Ponti will also be hunting for medals in Paris.
