Women's national mountain bike coach Edi Telser wins the award for Coach of the Year, the decisive factor being his triple success in Tokyo. While the quiet South Tyrolean, who tends to stay in the background, takes his protégés out of their comfort zone during training, he gets out of his comfort zone for once, as he says himself, then visibly stirred and with a trembling voice: "Standing here and receiving the award is a huge honor. It was actually already my nomination. What I was able to experience in Tokyo, with the first three places, I couldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams."

Jolanda Neff narrowly missed out on the title. She is tied with Belinda Bencic for a long time in the final round, but then Neff's bar chart stops growing - Bencic becomes Swiss Sportswoman of the Year.

Mathias Flückiger and Nino Schurter take fourth and sixth place. For Flückiger, however, the nomination alone is already a success: "To be honest, I'm not expecting to win tonight, as the competition for the award is pretty impressive. Just being able to sit here on the show as a nominee makes me really happy."
