The Swiss champions in the two-wheeled professions were crowned for the second time at SwissSkills, the showcase for apprenticeships, in Bern. The 17-year-old Sandra Schmied from Guggisberg came out on top in the bicycle mechanic category. She mastered the eight tasks best in a high-level competition.

This means that the title of Swiss champion remains firmly in the hands of women. After all, Selina Giacomini won the first edition four years ago. Under the leadership of the 2rad Schweiz industry association, eight young bicycle mechanics competed in two days of challenging practical work. This required a great deal of stamina and concentration. Apprentices from all over Switzerland in their 3rd year of training were able to take part.2rad Schweiz is very satisfied with the 2nd edition of the Swiss Championships, according to a statement. The profession of bicycle mechanic was presented live to numerous interested parties, including many young people with their parents. This gave the general public an insight into the bicycle workshop and today's requirements. SwissSkills offers a unique platform for this. Around 130,000 people took the opportunity to explore the world of work over five days.The podium:
