The Covid-19 took away Jacques Reymond, coach and husband of the legend Erika Hess

The former Swiss national team technician passed away at the age of 70. His son Marco has already been a protagonist in the World Cup.

Jacques Reymond was a true point of reference for the red and white ski, which today mourns its disappearance after a battle fought against Covid-19. The communication came in the afternoon from the Alpine skiing association of French-speaking Switzerland, of which Reymond was the president: husband of an absolute champion such as Erika Hess, capable of winning 2 absolute World Cups, 31 races in the maximum circuit and 6 world titles, in addition to an Olympic bronze, also led his wife as a coach, after having held the role of manager in charge of both the Swiss male and female national teams. One of the couple's three children, Marco (born in 1994), has become an excellent skier and this year he has been a protagonist in particular in the European Cup circuit, after having played two CdM giants, no less than between Alta Badia and Adelboden, in the 2018/19 season.
