Swisteam ahead in Europe
The 13 young women and men of the Swiss delegation of the European Vocational Championships have worked and given everything during three days in Lille. With 1x European champion, 3x second place, 3x third place, 2x diploma and 2x certificate they have surpassed themselves.
The Official Delegate Christine Davatz is proud of the very good effort of the Swiss team: "Our boys gave their best." But she also had to realize "that the requirements have increased and the competition is getting tougher and tougher".
Nevertheless: "The fact that every second person has won an award is simply great," she says, expressing her satisfaction with what has been achieved. "The Swiss team performed well under tough and difficult competition conditions," said Technical Delegate Rico Cioccarelli on the evening of the award ceremony, and also praised the experts in particular: "In Lille, the experts were asked to do a lot.
One of these experts is particularly proud of his protégé. Adrian Sommer, an expert in the field of electrical installation, admits that he has been torturing his candidate Severin Holderegger for the past six months. But it was obviously worth it, because the young man from St. Gallen won the European title for electricians by a clear margin. And that's not all, because on the evening of the award ceremony he wore two gold medals around his neck, the second for the title of Best of Nation for the Swiss team. He himself said: "It was amazing to receive the gold medal for the first time on stage. A second gold medal was then the icing on the cake."
