class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Michelle Andres (r.) and Aline Seitz have a good chance of participating in the Olympic Games in two disciplines.

Michelle Andres and Aline Seitz collected valuable points at the Nations Cup in Hong Kong with a view to the Olympic Games. The duo finished 4th in Madison on Saturday. The next day, Seitz also finished fourth in the Omnium and thanks to these results, the Swiss women will most likely participate in both the Madison and the Omnium at this year’s Summer Games in Paris.

For the men, Valère Thiébaud and Alex Vogel finished 7th in the Madison. In the Olympic rankings, which are relevant for the allocation of quota places, the Swiss managed to significantly reduce the gap with the Czechs, who had to settle for 11th place in Hong Kong. To overtake the Czechs and qualify for Paris, the Swiss need at least a top 8 result at the final Nations Cup event in mid-April in Milton, Canada. (SDA)
