Swiss athlete of the year

The Swiss athletes of the year have been honored since 2004. The Swiss athletics coach of the year has already been chosen in previous years . The elections for the Swiss Athletes of the Year are carried out by the Swiss Athletics Association ( Swiss Athletics ).

Since 2006, half of the athlete, the female athlete and the youngster of the year have been chosen by the audience and half by an expert jury. The expert jury includes representatives from Swiss Athletics, journalists and former top athletes (the jury included Anita Weyermann , Werner Günthör , Daria Nauer and Anita Protti ). The coach and the team of the year are determined by the Swiss Athletics Committee for Competitive Sports.

The marathon runner Viktor Röthlin has already been voted Swiss athlete of the year six times. In 2014 he was also recognized as a member of the EM team of marathon runners. The pole vaulter Nicole Büchler was the only woman to have won the award three times. She was also part of the 2015 award-winning 4 x 100 meter relay for the U23 women. Noemi Zbären has been voted Youngster of the Year four times in a row.
