Swiss Night – an Evening Full of Emotions and a Glimpse of 2029

Last night, Coca-Cola Switzerland and the World Winter Games Switzerland 2029 invited athletes, coaches, families, and partners to a special Swiss Night. The focus of the evening was on the athletes, who were celebrated for their impressive performances over the past few days. In an interview with Head of Delegation Aldo Doninelli, they emphasized how proud they are to represent Switzerland and what unforgettable moments they have already experienced.

The guests were particularly impressed by the presence of two guests of honor: Stefano Lazzarotto, Consul General of Switzerland in Milan, and Mary Davis, CEO of Special Olympics International, addressed moving words to those present and congratulated the athletes on their success.

Another highlight of the evening was a short panel discussion with Reyn ffoulkes, Director Communications Austria & Switzerland of Coca-Cola, Bruno Barth, President of the World Winter Games 2029, and Louis Kleemeyer, founder of Unique United. They took a first look at the World Winter Games 2029, which will take place in Switzerland, and spoke about the central role of sports and their goals to create a more inclusive world.

After the official part, the guests enjoyed delicious Piedmontese specialties and celebrated exuberantly with rousing music. An unforgettable evening that further strengthened the enthusiasm for the sport and the anticipation for the upcoming games!
