Cold-blooded Staudenmann warms up in the cold women’s chapel

A biting wind whistled on Saturday on the Schlössliwiese in the Frauenkappelen in Bern. Whoever wisely wrapped a woolen blanket will reap the envious glances of those trembling in the stands. The warming Schwingerkafi is the absolute bestseller today. Fabian Staudenmann is not impressed by the cold. The Mittellander is Mister Cool himself, seems calm, swings thoughtfully.

The Guggisberger marches through the festival. If he steps into the sawdust, the spectacle is over after a few seconds. Six courses. Six wins. Impressive 59.75 points. “Actually, that’s not my style at all,” says the trained automation technician after winning the festival. “Normally, especially the first courses are a bit of a chorus for me.” Staudenmann could get used to the remarkably short corridors. The load on the body is less, as is the risk of injury. Especially when the weather feels like winter is upon us and not summer. “We were always able to warm up properly in the cloakroom. But it was really fresh on the pitch.”

King Stucki has the right nose

As efficiently as Staudenmann swings on the Mediterranean, even a king is impressed. Christian Stucki (38) does not miss the spectacle in Frauenkappelen and is pretty sure before noon how this festival will end. “It’s impressive what Fäbu delivers today. He’s in such good shape, I don’t know who wants to stop him.” Doesn’t it appeal to the departing struggling king to get involved again before bidding farewell to the Zeeland? But. “Sometimes it tempts me to do things myself. But after 30 years I’ve done enough wrestling festivals. Life isn’t just about wings,” says a relaxed-looking Stucki. And it’s fun to watch too.

The delicate Aeschbacher moment

Speaking of spectators, they couldn’t be happier after Fabian Staudenmann’s home win. One scene, however, still offers talking points after the finale. In third gear, the 2021 Kilchberg winner put his clubmate Matthias Aeschbacher on his back after just six seconds. But the cheers of the crowd were followed by big frowns. Was Aeschbacher really lying with two thirds of his back in the sawdust? The TV images suggest otherwise.

When asked about the controversial scene, the festival winner nods in agreement. “I thought to myself in the sawdust that it could have been tight. After the walk looked at the TV images a few more times. The referee might as well have decided otherwise.” Aeschbacher is certainly not angry about that. “The luck of the match was on my side. Next time it might be the other way around.” If the Bernese Dominator continues to swing as before, he no longer needs luck.
