Three kings and a long foreplay

Who is eligible for the profit of the king title of the question?
Probably not more than a half-dozen of the oscillator. The North-East, Swiss, Armon Orlik and Samuel Giger will be trading at its highest. Also, the intra-Swiss Joel Wicki belongs to the closest circle of favorites. Bern's part, it must inform Christian Stucki, Kilian Wenger or Remo Käser, which is stagnating at a high level. Nick Alpiger and Lario Kramer, the assets of the smaller sub-associations North-West and southwest Switzerland, will swing in train hardly for the victory.

Have lost the Bernese their supremacy?
With one exception, have since 2008, after each Competition with a Federal character of the Bernese cheered, they also won most of the mountain festivals. Because of their dominance, it came often in the third or fourth gear, to the Association of internal duels are frowned upon in and of itself. After the resignations of Matthias Sempach and Matthias Siegenthaler, as well as because of the injury-related absence of Matthias Glarner, the team has lost quality. The East and the intra-Swiss have caught up. For the Bernese in the return of two times the Brünig-winner Bernhard Kämpf, the Routine and the still existing width to speak. The time is swinging against you, even if some of the talents to move up.

Who could be in for a Surprise? To note
it is Pirmin Reichmuth. Only 23 of the 198 cm tall giant of a man with injuries but he has suffered already for two or three careers. At 18, he was in the Final round of the Swiss part of the Association strength, the crack for the first Time, the cross-band. In 2015 and 2017, he moved to more serious knee injuries, missed three seasons, had to change his Swing and he has lost none of its class. Three smaller hall of feasts, he decided in the last two months, against Orlik and Giger, it was enough to "Provided". In Cham grew up, is the "Federal" in train for him to be home.

What festivals are to be observed in addition to the "Federal"?
The foreplay is long before the end of August in Zug. 37 wreath festivals are held until then; significance of the mountain are fixed (Brünig, Rigi, Schwägalp, Schwarzsee, Stoos, white stone), the force measure is on the Brünig as particularly prestigious. Also, the part of the Association of feasts in the North - Eastern and Central Switzerland and the Bernese "Cantonal" enjoy high priority. Up to the highlight of the season, the three big teams (Berner, North - Eastern and Central Switzerland) are, however, nowhere to fight a duel.

Who gets to Tickets for the "Federal"?
Never before was find the Arena greater: 56'500 spectators at the "Federal" intake. Even six times more to be expected on the festival site and with the Public Viewing need to be satisfied – because with the purchase of a ticket is such a thing. The presale is soon to start, in spite of proud 245 francs for a covered grandstand seat, he will be over before it has really begun. Most of the cards will get the swing clubs, which distribute them among their members.
But it is even more complicated: On the Brünig-Schwinget the probability of obtaining a seat about the same as the recording of the resonant sports into the Olympic program. The Tickets are passed on through the generations, are family-owned. There is a several-page waiting list.

How is the three active kings?
Since the gondola fall two years ago, Matthias Glarner duration of the patient. Last August he had to leave again to operate, for two weeks he trained in the sawdust. The confidence in the injured leg is missing, the Comeback, there is, at the earliest, in June. The defending Champions would like to tear in the train, but is not sure to play the Clown. Want to be called: It occurs only if the shape fits. In his Berne Partner Kilian Wenger feelings to the contrary, he was but a month ago, for the first time, father. Daughter Mena Léanne sleep well, he was, therefore, alive and kicking, he will align. To complain less than the least of Arnold Forrer, swing king has of – believe it or not, more – 2001. Last season, he left due to hip pain, this year, the 40-year-old toggenburg wants to win at least five times oak leaves. By which he would reach first the magic mark of 150 awards.
