His figure skating idol is Stéphane Lambiel.[2]

Career

Britschgi began figure skating in 2005 at about seven years old, having been introduced to the sport by his mother who was a former ice dancer.Initially skating only for fun, Britschgi didn't decide to become a competitive figure skater until around the age of fourteen.[2][3]

He debuted at the 2014–15 Swiss Junior Championships, where he won the silver medal.

2016–17 season

Competing at his first senior Swiss Championships, Britschgi won the silver medal.

Prior to the season, Britschgi decided to relocate to Oberstdorf, Germany, with Michael Huth becoming his coach.[6][7][2]

At the 2018–19 Swiss Championships, Britschgi won his first national title and was subsequently selected to represent Switzerland at the 2019 European Championships in Minsk, Belarus, and the 2019 World Championships in Saitama, Japan.

At the European Championships, Britschgi placed thirty-first in the short program, failing to qualify for the free skate segment of the competition and finishing thirty-first overall.

He then went on to win the bronze medal at the 2019 International Challenge Cup.

Britschgi concluded his season at the World Championships, where he placed thirty-fourth in the short program, not qualifying for the free skate segment of the competition and finished thirty-fourth overall.[7]

2019–20 season

Britschgi started his season by winning the bronze medal at the 2018 Golden Bear of Zagreb as well as finishing sixth at both the 2019 Volvo Open Cup and the 2019 CS Warsaw Cup.

Britschgi then went on to win his second consecutive title at the 2019–20 Swiss Championships.

At the 2020 European Championships in Graz, Austria, Britschgi finished in nineteenth place after placing twenty-second in the short program and nineteenth in the free skate.

He then went on to place fourth at the 2020 International Challenge Cup.

Although selected to compete at the 2020 World Championships, the event was ultimately cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9][10]

2020–21 season

Britschgi began the season with an eighth-place finish at the 2020 CS Nebelhorn Trophy.

Despite the 2020–21 Swiss Championships being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Britschgi was ultimately selected to compete at the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm, Sweden. Britschgi went on to place fifteenth at the event after placing seventeenth in the short program and sixteenth in the free skate. With this placement, Britschgi was able to secure one spot for Swiss men's singles skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[11][12]

2021–22 season

Britschgi started the season by competing at the 2021 CS Finlandia Trophy, the 2021 CS Asian Open Trophy, and the 2021 CS Warsaw Cup, where he placed eighth, fifth, and seventh, respectively. He then went on to win the gold medal at the 2021 NRW Trophy.

At the 2021–22 Swiss Championships, Britschgi won his third national title and was subsequently named to the European, Olympic, and World team.

Britschgi went on to place eleventh at the 2022 European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia, after placing thirteenth in the short program and eleventh in the free skate.

At the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, Britschgi managed to qualify for the free skate segment of the competition after placing twenty-fourth in the short program. In the free program, Britschgi placed twenty-third and moved up to twenty-third place overall.[13]

Shortly prior the 2022 World Championships, Britschgi tested positive for COVID-19 and was forced to withdraw from the event.[14]

2022–23 season

Britschgi began his season by finishing fifth at the 2022 CS Finlandia Trophy, before going on to compete at the 2022 CS Budapest Trophy where he won the silver medal.

He then went on to make his Grand Prix series debut at 2022 Skate Canada International, where he finished sixth.

Shortly before the 2022 Grand Prix de France, Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan withdrew from the event and Britschgi was called up to replace him.[15][16]

At the 2022 CS Warsaw Cup, Britschgi won the bronze medal after skating a clean short and free program, scoring personal bests in the process. Following the event, however, Britschgi fell off his bicycle and broke his collar bone and had to five weeks off the ice to recover. As a result, Britschgi had to miss the 2022–23 Swiss Championships.

Competing at the 2023 European Championships in Espoo, Finland, Britschgi placed fifth in the short program. However, he managed to perform a near perfect free skate, placing third in that segment of the competition and winning the bronze medal. His bronze medal was the highest finish for a Swiss skater of any discipline at the European Championships in over a decade. Following the event, Britschgi stated, "I still can't believe it, I still have no words for it. A dream came true." This placement granted two spots for Swiss men's singles skaters at the 2024 European Championships.

At the 2023 World Championships in Saitama, Japan, Britschgi placed ninth in both the short and free program segments of the competition and finished in eighth place overall, scoring a new personal best free skate and combined total score in the process. 's top ten finish guaranteed two spots for Swiss men's singles skaters at the 2024 World Championships.[17][2][3]

2023–24 season

Britschgi began the season with two appearances on the Challenger circuit, coming fourth at the 2023 CS Finlandia Trophy before winning the silver medal the next week at the 2023 CS Budapest Trophy.[18] On the Grand Prix, he placed fourth at the 2023 Grand Prix de France, including a third-place finish in the free skate with a new personal best score. His total score of 263.43 would have been sufficient to win the gold medal at the 2023 Skate Canada International the prior week.[19]
