To Look the other way, it was not at all. But Diana Fankhauser was able to keep their eyes more open. They remained, even on some of the winning photos. A little sawdust had to RUB in it caught everything and wash Out didn’t help. The eye doctor instead of the Party it was called. And it was on the very day of their greatest triumph: as in the last autumn, in a Court in the Canton of Bern oscillating Queen.
Fankhauser is one of the strongest women in the country. So absolutely, you would never say that, your modesty prohibits you. She is also a farmer’s daughter, home and nature, uncomplicated, friendly. Has a strong Handshake, dispensed with make-up and accessories. Fits all right to the Swing ,. The want to know 23-Year-old nothing of clichés. There is no scheme, says Fankhauser, “on the vibrating square you see women with punk hairstyles, with gaudy-coloured hair; the Academics, the political right and left Set. Only with High Heels, no.”
Two of Fankhauser’s uncle swung; her aunts Eveline Dolder and Margrit Vetter were even two times that of the Queens. Grew up in the Emmental, where the tuning of sports is deeply rooted, she moved as a child to Chesalles-sur-Oron, in the Canton of Vaud, the parents run a farm. In the Romandie, some no longer understood the world, that a little girl wanted to swing. Even today, she is looked at, sometimes obliquely, when she tells Strangers of her passion. Three times she swings a week, makes mental training, boning up on condition. The effort with that of their male counterparts compare. “She is the perfect Queen,” says Benjamin Beyeler, President of the Federal woman wrestling Association. “Diana is athletic, ambitious, but also humble, fair, and helpful. You want to bring the wife swinging sports more – not all of your predecessors had that goal. Some looked only for themselves.”
If the Queen organized the “Federal”
Beyeler is 30, dynamic in Action, modern ways of thinking. He was a self-oscillator, had to end his career due to injury early on. His wife fought in the sawdust, after the resignation, she convinced the husband to take the reins in the Hand. He had created structures, clarity in Regulations and the alignment, says Beyeler, for a long time it was a little messy and quite. The passion for the woman swing down at him, he speaks with enthusiasm, exaggerating a little, something not beautiful at all. But he’s not wrong when he points to “positive trends”. Took part in the tight five, six years, 60 to 70 girls and women, it is now up to 140. Even in the Romandie licenses to be solved. And yet, it is difficult to find organisers. Six solid 2019 are in the calendar, in some seasons, it was still less, in the case of the men, in turn, there are well over 200.
A difficult environment requires unusual ideas. So Beyeler’s predecessor, Ruth, Marty had the idea that the voice of Queen in the year to organize the “Federal”. Fankhauser’s aunt Margrit Vetter Fankhauser put together 2014 in Marbach, even the gifts of the temple. “Imagine, Matthias Glarner, or Matthias Sempach would have had to perform their title defence,” says Fankhauser. The unwritten law is no longer valid meanwhile, the clocks tick, but the women are still different. The title of each gear will not get, those who collect only the “Swiss”, but throughout the entire season on the most points, every Note is important. It runs differently than men, like so many other things – the Association values its independence.
Beyeler says that women and men would tolerate in the sawdust each other, not less but certainly not more. The scene had definitely become more tolerant, says the Chairman, behind their hands, but for the female fighters, many still have a Smile left. They are not rare, the eternal yesterday, which women accept to oscillation fixed primary as costumes ladies, helpers, or yodel on the inside. Beyeler speaks of the “women-belong-in-the-oven-Generation”; Marty tells that it was in their home town Muotathal almost a crime, when they have once begun to swing. And even during the photo appointment in Thun vibrating basement sardonic comments. A forty-something says to a colleague: “Look, there is actually a woman in the sawdust.”
Media attention to the woman swinging can hardly, in contrast to the men who have received their platform long ago in the “People” columns. The one or the other asked the Association to Fankhauser’s number, apparently all with honor’s intentions, which is why it is not given simply so. With the winning of the king’s title have changed for you all in all but nothing, says Fankhauser, who must hardly give Interviews, and has stirred the interest in your Person, therefore, proposes the discussion of the place of residence of the journalist in tuna to hold around 75 kilometers away from their week stay in Lauenen.
Inevitably, the arc is clamped to the men again and again, with comparisons given the different Tradition are superfluous. The women’s wrestling Association is only available since 1992; the Firm’s four-digit viewer figures are still the exception, sometimes only a few on the wooden benches get lost. It can happen, that you drive through the village, the vibrating course, but not, not a poster indicating that no Passer-by has a clue.
A Treichel for the victory, but not a single Sponsor
It was all four, five Shoe sizes smaller than men’s, says Fankhauser. Against a little more recognition, they would have nothing, a little attention would be just right. Sponsored by the Bernese Oberland countries not, with the voice of sport, you hardly deserve a cent, only the costs for the production of their autograph cards took over a print shop. As a reward for the Royal title she was awarded a Treichel, while Wenger, Sempach and co. advertising secured contracts in the middle six figures. Per year, of course.
Fankhauser wants to inspire young women for the tuning of sports and obstacles out of the way. Still, there are only three woman swinging clubs; Fankhauser trained, therefore, in tuna and Oron with men, as the only woman. Not, of course, this is the medical practice assistant says, not everywhere the doors are open. In Thun, Bernhard Kämpf designed the units, some of the colleague would have to light fear of contact, others would take a little consideration and to not press with full force on the ground, says the two-time Brünig-winner. “Our training is bothering you but in any way.”
Fankhauser is very grateful for the exchange, you can benefit from it, even if it is in a duel with the men no chance, even against those that have emerged from the Junior age. The men were far more explosive, had a different kind of leverage, much more impact. But you get a promotional spot for the wife to swing: Offensive’m going to fight. “Less Wait, more full throttle!” Fankhauser’s season begins in three weeks in Hergiswil, at the end of September, the “Federal” in Menznau. She is the favorite, the title of the target. The Party should finally be caught up.
