Lukas jumps his way to the top – with the help of Swiss Sports Aid
Any medal represents years of training, fierce determination, and in many cases the support of Swiss Sports Aid. In Switzerland, many sports seldom make the headlines and receive little financial support from sponsors. This is precisely where Sports Aid comes in: it's often the first sponsor, after family, in a young athlete’s career, and one that makes all the difference.
One example is 27-year-old Lukas Britschgi, who surprised everyone by winning the gold medal at the European Figure Skating Championships in February 2025. His success is testament to the importance of long-term support is. He has been able to rely on Swiss Sports Aid for years, as have over 1200 fellow Swiss athletes.
Sports Aid supports young emerging talents as well as performance-driven elite athletes on their journey to success. This support enables athletes to pursue their goals, whether it’s competing nationally or internationally for the first time, earning a spot at the world championships or winning an Olympic medal.
