Quote:
Besides, nothing really important, but Sven Bärtschi is nominated as "Newcomer of the year" at the Swiss Sports Awards. Three sportsmen stand for choice, Bärtschis competitors are the football player Granit Xhaka and the biathlete Benjamin Weger.
I hope Bärtschi wins, even if its absolutely irrelevant, as he is the best athlete of them. But I think people will vote for Xhaka as he plays in the Bundesliga and already plays regularly for the national team with 20 years of age. Plus, Bärtschi is far away in North America and you hear absolutely nothing about him in the media. The lockout isn't doing him any favours.

Interesting stuff, probably not that significant in terms of awards but I'm sure Baertschi is happy to see some recognition from his home country.
