2010 Swiss Nats

Swiss Nationals 2010 in Lugano

By Reut Golinsky, Tatiana Geikhman

The Swiss Elite Championship 2010 was held from the 10th to the 12th of December in the city of Lugano, in the Italian-speaking canton of Ticino, which borders Italy. We think, it's a crime to hold competitions in such beautiful places because no one, not even the competitors, has time for sightseeing. You could only understand how much you were actually missing when glancing around on the way to the rink.

Twelve men, nineteen ladies, one pair and two dance couples took part in the event. The event received a lot of media attention. In the second day of the competition, more than 2,000 spectators and skating fans filled the rink of Resega, and gave warm welcomes and full support both to the young skaters and to the main Swiss skating stars, Sarah Meier and Stéphane Lambiel.
