Laurent Guelzec [national], FRA; Laurent Tricoire [national], FRA; Bernhard Fluck [national], SUI

2013 for Switzerland (stv-fsg.ch, 22 Apr 2015)

His injuries have included back problems, torn ligaments in his left shoulder, problems with his right shoulder and a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right ankle. (bernerzeitung.ch, 25 May 2016)

He took up the sport at age five in Solothurn, Switzerland. (noz-oberaargau.ch, 09 Sep 2014)

He told his parents that he wanted to try gymnastics. He went to a training session and enjoyed it straight away. He likes the sport because it has variety and is challenging. "I was about five years old when I first saw gymnastics on TV. My parents told me that I was immediately enthusiastic." (noz-oberaargau.ch, 10 Apr 2019; noz-oberaargau.ch, 09 Sep 2014)

To compete at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (stv-fsg.ch, 03 Oct 2018)

Winning bronze in the team event at the 2016 European Championships in Bern, Switzerland, and competing at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. (bpm-sports.ch, 01 Sep 2018)

"I try to consider nerves before competing as something positive that gives me energy. If I fail to do that, which is not very common, I always calm down by saying that I've done it in training and that I have mastered the exercises. Positive thinking and having fun with gymnastics helps." (noz-oberaargau.ch, 10 Apr 2019)

In 2014 he was named Best Male Talent of the Oberaargau region in Switzerland. (oberaargauer.ch, 11 Dec 2014)
