Simon Ammann will also get a base place at Swiss-Ski next season. According to the published lists, the Toggenburger is still part of the A selection.

In principle, nothing stands in the way of the four-time Olympic champion tackling a 27th World Cup season in November as a 42-year-old. Last winter, Ammann only started with a delay after spending most of the summer studying. Although nothing concrete is known about his future plans, there was never any mention of a dismissal.

Classification based on performance

No gifts are given when determining team levels. The classification is based on the performance of the past winter. At the World Championships in Planica, Ammann reached the last round on both the normal and the big hill. Despite the lack of training, he was number 2 in the Swiss team behind Gregor Deschbanden at the end of winter. The native of Lucerne is the only one who still belongs to the national team, while Killian Peier has lost this status. The man from Vaud, who finished third at the World Cup in Seefeld four years ago and then lost due to a cruciate ligament tear, has been relegated to the B selection.

Cross-country skier Nadine Fähndrich and her colleagues Valerio Grond and Janik Riebli continue to achieve the highest ranking for the coming winter in the Nordic sector. Among the biathletes, Niklas Hartweg and Sebastian Stalder made it to the national team as winners and third in the U25 World Cup. (SDA)
