Patrick Saile [personal], from 2016; Sabine Wicki [mother]

A knee injury prevented him from competing at the 2021 European Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland. (srf.ch, 02 Mar 2021)

In 2017 he was diagnosed with Pfeiffer's glandular fever. The illness affected his fitness for the next two years. (blick.ch, 11 Sep 2020)

He took up sprinting at age 17, having previously practised high jump. (aargauersport.ch, 30 Jul 2020)

He switched from high jump to sprinting after gaining weight. "So to speak, my body made the decision for me. Because under the new condition, high jump was no longer an option." (aargauersport.ch, 30 Jul 2020)

"For me, sprinting is much more than just running for a few seconds. For me it is a philosophy of life. I can express my personality and realise myself through the sprint." (aargauersport.ch, 30 Jul 2020)
