Swiss Sports Aid: turning your support into gold
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.
What your community coins are doing
Sports (successes) connect people. Together we can achieve more. Thanks to your community coins, Swiss Sports Aid enables athletes to do much more than everyday training:
- Training camps: Athletes are able to attend important training camps and prepare optimally for competitions.
- Mental coaching: Mental coaching helps athletes deliver their best when it counts and equips them to cope with setbacks and losses.
- Personal training: Access to a personal trainer provides athletes with exclusive support that they often can't afford without Sports Aid.
- International competitions: For young emerging athletes, competing in extra international competitions is a key step in their sporting development.
- Costs of equipment: Sports Aid helps cover the high costs of equipment so that athletes can train with the best possible gear.
- Time: And finally, the support saves the athletes valuable time: having their own car shortens journeys and frees up more time for them to train and recover.
