Der Hammer-Anwalt

Published on 5 August 2011 in Training Updates  |  5 Comments  |

It was all part of a photo shoot and interview with Blick, Switzerland’s largest daily newspaper. The article ran today a preview for tonight’s Swiss Championships and focused on how I combine athletics with my day job. Check it out below.

    Knapp verpasst! 10 cm short of a 20m Swiss victory.

    Congratulations, that was quite a first toss. Were you just gunning it after that?
