Vreni Schneider, legend among legends: she was named the Swiss athlete of the last 70 years

Alongside Roger Federer, awarded among the men ahead of Cologne and Zurbriggen, the Swiss champion received historic recognition. And tonight Brignone, Wierer and Moioli will play with the Gazzetta Sports Awards ...

Legend among legends, she who has really won everything in the course of an extraordinary career topped off with three Olympic golds, three world titles and, in fact, three absolute World Cups as well as 55 victories in the top circuit. Vreni Schneider was named the Swiss athlete of the last 70 years during the Sports Awards in Switzerland, preceding another great champion who made history in alpine skiing, Erika Hess. On the male level, however, Pirmin Zurbriggen had to "settle" for third place, with the greatest recognition going to Roger Federer ahead of Dario Cologna, who again brought winter sports and in this case cross-country skiing to the top . This evening, however, starting at 9.00 pm with live coverage on gazzetta.it, it will be the turn of the Gazzetta Sports Awards for the Azzurri world. And some of our champions are in contention, with the votes that ended last Saturday, for the “woman of the year” award. Let's talk about Federica Brignone, Dorothea Wierer and Michela Moioli, or the three winners of the World Cup last season.
