It wasn’t the blazing sun that caused red faces at the Stoos-Schwinget last weekend, but rather the division. The Bernese wrestling legend Christian Oesch raged after the mountain classic in Central Switzerland: “What’s happening here reminds me a lot more of a horse trade in the deepest Emmental than of a fair competition!”
