Who is Kaj Hügli

I stepped into the sawdust for the first time in 2007 as a young wrestler. Since then, wrestling has been my great passion. My goal is to get to the top of the sport. This is a very hard path and it takes years of hard training to achieve this goal. I train five times a week. My training is varied. I train with my personal trainer twice a week.

Review

I started the 2022 season with the following goals:
Accident-free seasonI was able to achieve this well, I had no injuries and was able to swing pain-free for the whole season.
Giving my best at every wrestling festival and achieving top placings. From my point of view, this was also achieved, I was able to win 5 wreaths.
First mountain wreaththis was achieved on 14.08.2022. I was able to win my first mountain wreath on Schwägalp on an excellent day of wrestling against a fantastic backdrop.
Participation in the ESAF in Pratteln. I also achieved this goal. So all four goals were achieved. At the ESAF in Pratteln, I was able to build on my performance at Schwägalp and had a very good Saturday. With three wins and one loss, the starting position for Sunday was excellent. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to build on my momentum on Sunday morning and lost the fifth and sixth rounds. Nevertheless, I qualified to be able to swing for eight courses on site.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to swing for the crowns, but I still learned a lot of positive things and am proud of my performance at the ESAF and with the whole 2022 season.

Goals of Kaj Hügli

In 2023, I will lay the foundations for my journey to the ESAF in Mollis GL.
I want to achieve these ambitious goals with hard physical training and a lot of passion. Mental training is a very important part of the foundation. Mental fitness is becoming increasingly important in this power sport.
On this basis, I will refine the training sessions with my personal trainer and the team in Aarau even more specifically in 2024.
In 2025, the goals are set even higher and the focus is even more on the ESAF.

There is also the goal of having an accident-free season and fair races.

 

Swinging

Swinging was once only known among shepherds and farmers. It began around the 13th century.
In the 18th century, wrestling was moved to the cities, where it was well preserved, and it is still a traditional Swiss sport today.
The first federal wrestling festival was held in 1895 and the first royal title was awarded in the 19th century.
The sport of wrestling has become increasingly professional and is now almost a top-class sport.
Wrestling is also highly popular in the media and has become a trend.
