General Interest

General
LIFE OF A NOMAD
He spends about 200 days each year training abroad, mainly in Eastern European countries such as Bulgaria, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation, and Georgia. He had also a three-month stint competing for Cornell University in the United States of America in 2017. "It's like an investment. When you want to be the best you need to go with the best. Eastern Europeans are more versatile and are technically better. US wrestlers are, on the contrary, more like a bulldozer." (bluewin.ch, 24 Sep 2019)

He became the first male freestyle wrestler representing Switzerland to win a world championship medal when he claimed bronze in the 86kg category at the 2019 edition of the tournament in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. (SportsDeskOnline, 06 Feb 2020; stifi.ch, 03 Oct 2019)
