An extract from the article by Aide Sportive: Fähndrich and Braun honoured on the Swiss site TSR.ch :
Loris Braun veut wants to work his way up the Elite ladder...
The Olympic Games have never really concerned Loris Braun. At the age of 19, this apprentice watch-maker recognised that the eventual integration of his sport into the Games would come too late for his generation. Having taking the ultimate title in the Junior ctaegory, Loris now has the ambition of winning the Elite category. For him, the immediate goals are Antipodean, with a World Championship round in Australia and the World Cup final in New Zealand this Autumn.
Jenny Fähndrich and Loris Braun take the place of Valentine Arietta and Maxime Zermatten as Sportspeople of the year. Award winners benefit from a year’s monthly support from l’Aide Sportive Suisse.
