You should know about these bad guys at the start of the Schwing season

You could also call him the stand-up man. Pirmin Reichmuth (27) from Zug has suffered four cruciate ligament tears in his career. And each time he has successfully returned to the sawdust. The independent physiotherapist compensates for the challenges of his own body with his excellent technique. Reichmuth is extremely versatile and convinces with offensive swinging.

The hopes of the Great Bernese rest on him. Michael Moser (17) from Emmental was in the ring last year mainly as a young wrestler, but he also won his first wreath among the active players – at just 16 years old. This season, the 1.93 centimeter tall Bigler wants to go into the ring more often against evil. The start of the season has already been a success. At the first wrestling festival of the year, Moser only had to admit defeat to Armon Orlik (27) from Graubünden.

With Christian Stucki (38), one of the greatest athletes wrestling has ever seen retires this year. The Seelander went down in history with the “Wingling Grand Slam” and won the Unspunnen, Kilchberg and Eidgenössisches. His imposing posture alone makes his performances always impressive. But Chrigu Stucki quickly won the hearts of wrestling fans with his relaxed and honest demeanor. Besides sport, it has become a symbol of sobriety and Swissness.

This title fits Armon Orlik in two ways. The native of Graubünden has a clear mind and studies civil engineering at the Graubünden University of Applied Sciences. But Orlik also grew up in a Catholic family. Before each car ride, he says a short prayer to arrive safely at his destination. Orlik starts the season on Sunday in the canton of Thurgau.

Remo Käser (26) from Bern knows how to market himself. He is active on all major social media networks. He smiles for the camera while preparing a sponsored dinner. As the first wrestler ever, the aspiring agricultural businessman entered into a partnership with the billion-dollar company Red Bull. Conservative wrestlers accuse Käser of commercializing wrestling. To silence his critics, the man from Bern must not only deliver online this year, but mainly in sawdust.

A stressful year is coming for King Joel Wicki (26). After the coronation, a king always has a certain role as his favourite. The expectations and demands of fans, sponsors and the media are high. Wicki also has a lot to do outside the swing courts. At the moment, the man from Entlebuch is in the last spurt of training as a farmer and working on the farm. As if that were not enough, the trained operator still regularly toils on the construction site. Will Wicki be able to keep his regal form with all these tasks?

Last year, the word resignation haunted Kilian Wenger (32). The king, crowned in Frauenfeld in 2010, is less and less in the spotlight. Sportively, a new generation of wrestlers pushes the Berner. During the pandemic, the trained carpenter realized how beautiful life can be without top sport. If swinging is allowed, not a must. By the time of the Unspunnen, the king will surely swing. Wenger leaves it in the middle how things will continue after that.

When Michael Ledermann (22) is in the sawdust ring, his opponents should be prepared for a tough battle. Although he failed to win a single festival as a young wrestler, the trained farmer is now cheating with dozens of Swiss confederates. The Schwarzenburger works like no other on its opponents, until the very last second. His defensive qualities are also excellent. Ledermann is so tough that he only lost three races in the last Kranzfest season.

crown favourite. season high flyer. Best wrestler in the country. the next king Much was written about Samuel Giger (25) last summer – the expectations of the Thurgau were high. But at the decisive moment, Giger failed under the pressure. He did not leave the Swiss Confederation with his head held high like a king, but defeated and defeated. One thing is certain, the silent truck driver has a lot to make up for.
