The Swiss wrestling festival, which was held in Aeschi, showcased the top talent from the Bernese Oberland. Aellen, only 20 years old, took the crown in an exciting match against reigning champ Marcel Bremgartner.

Next week, Aellen will head to Emmental for the Emmentalischen Swingfest in Sumiswald, where he hopes to once again take the crown. Aellen won’t be the only local at the festival; starting the tournament with our new winner will be Andy Mösching, a wrestler from Feutersoey.
