Britschgi is in the top ten

Just like the day before, Lukas Britschgi convinced Kimmy Repond (16) at the world championships in Saitama, Japan. The 25-year-old from Schaffhausen finished the title fights in 8th place.

With Repond, Britschgi not only shares 8th place at the World Championships with Repond, but also the unexpected bronze medal at the European Championships in Espoo in Finland two months ago and a personal best at the World Championships in Japan.

The northeastern Swiss received 171.16 points for his freestyle to music on Saturday. The performance is very good, but not perfect: in combination with the quadruple toe loop, he follows with a double instead of a triple jump, once he only jumps three times instead of four, and in a pirouette he finds the right position.

Part of the gold goes to Switzerland

Britschgi’s home record now stands at 257.34 points. The Schaffhauser, WM-15. 2021 and Olympia-23. 2022, is a late bloomer. He gave his premiere at a major event in 2019 at the European Championships in Minsk (31st place). In Saitama, the Swiss showed the ninth best performance in both the short program and the freestyle, which earned him eighth place as the second best European.

Stéphane Lambiel (37) holds the gold medal. De Walliser is one of the coaches of the successful defending champion Shoma Uno. The Japanese, third at the Beijing Olympics, is the only runner to break the 300-point barrier.

The 18-year-old Ilia Malinin, an American with Russian-Uzbek roots, is the first pursuer after the short program to fall back to third place. South Korean Cha Junhwan won silver. (SDA)
