Swiss sports legend Simon Ammann has been President of Special Olympics Switzerland since 2022. As a four-time Olympic champion, he knows from his own experience what sports can achieve – and thanks to his studies at HSG, he also brings the business management expertise to strategically and sustainably develop the foundation. In his role as Foundation President, Simon Ammann focuses on strategic developments: He promotes inclusion in Swiss sports and advocates for the achievements of Special Olympics athletes to be duly recognized and honored.
As a long-standing ambassador (since 2013) and now President, he passionately advocates for people with intellectual disabilities. He regularly takes time for athletes, accompanies them to competitions, gives tips, and emphasizes:
Nowhere else is sport practiced with as much passion and joy as at Special Olympics. All athletes deserve to be recognized as a natural part of life.
