With Andrea Clavadetscher from Liechtenstein, the new national marathon coach has chosen an extremely experienced man: "Clavi" won the legendary "Race across America" in 2001. The extreme cyclist is also the 24-hour world record holder and winner of the "XXAlps extreme 2004". Frischknecht, Spaeth & Co. will certainly be able to benefit greatly from the former road pro, particularly in the mental area.
This year, Swiss Cycling is employing a national coach for the marathon discipline for the first time. This is Swiss Cycling's response to the ever-growing popularity of long-distance races. Swiss marathon racers are among the best in the world - Thomas Frischknecht also won the first official marathon world championship in Lugano in 2003.
