Swiss ski jumping championships held in Einsiedeln and Gibswil

The Swiss ski jumping championships were held recently in Einsiedeln and Gibswil. The events faced weather challenges, specifically high winds that forced the cancellation of the junior men's competition on Saturday, which was subsequently rescheduled for Sunday morning.

In the elite category, Sandro Hauswirth claimed the Swiss championship title with jumps of 113.5 and 120 meters. Veteran jumper Simon Ammann secured fifth place in the elite division. Lars Künzle, representing SSC Toggenburg, earned a bronze medal in the junior category and finished 15th in the elite competition.

Athletes from SC Kandersteg also saw success, with several members reaching the podium in the U16 categories. In the regional team competition, the Bernese Oberland Ski Association (BOSV) team, which included three athletes from SC Kandersteg, finished in fourth place, narrowly missing the podium by 3.1 points.
