23 years ago: Sonja Nef’s crystal ball shattered into 1000 pieces

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Like the last Swiss woman could Sonja Nef win the crystal ball as the best giant slalom skier. In the seasons 2000/01 and 01/02. The first bullet was presented to her in Are (Sd). Nef hugged and kissed the trophy on stage. She then walked anxiously in her ski clothes to the car for the ride to the airport. Luggage was scattered everywhere. The crystal ball crashed into a crate of materials and shattered into thousands of pieces.

Few people have achieved three gold medals at three consecutive Olympic Games in the same discipline. Belongs to the exclusive club Bonnie Blair. The skater from New York State won gold in the 500 m in 1988/92/94 and was on the ice for the first time at the age of 2. She turns 60 on Monday.

The most successful Swiss shooters in the play-offs

1 Roman Wäger (61): 65 goals (39 assists)
The Kloten veteran remained loyal to his club for no less than 27 years and celebrated four championship titles with them. In his total of 110 playoff games, he scored 65 goals. Rather
He was also the top scorer in the then NLA three times.

2 Ivo Rüthemann (47): 60 goals (71 assists)
Rüthemann chased goals in no fewer than 198 play-off games. And the 172 cm tall striker did that with great success. He helped SCB win three championship titles. With 1072 matches (HCD and SCB), he was still the record holder when he retired in 2014.

3 Felix Hollenstein (58): 58 goals (62 assists)
Just like Limi Wäger, Fige Hollenstein also played a major role in the successful pilot era in the 1990s with four titles. After 17 years as a player, the Bülacher was also a coach and sports director at Kloten for about 15 years.

4 Ryan Gardner (45): 52 goals (72 assists)
The naturalized Canadian won championship titles with Lugano (2), the ZSC Lions (1) and the SCB (1). As a player safety officer, he now helps Swiss ice hockey with his opinion that dishonest players get their just punishment.

5 Peter Jaks (†45): 52 goals (59 assists)
It seemed like the Ambri legend only cared about scoring goals. His 487 is still an NLA record. In October 2011, horror news shocked hockey Switzerland: Jaks had thrown himself in front of a train in southern Italy.

10 second titles

Since the introduction of the Bundesliga in 1963/64, this “Vizekusen” has not been successful. No, just like with the championship titles, Bayern Munich leads the way in this statistic. Dortmund is in second place with nine thankless runner-up titles. By the way, Leverkusen was in second place five times at the end of the season.
