Swiss gymnasts finished it all at the European Championships in a solid sixth place. The quintet with Noe Seifert, Marco Pfell, Andreen Frye, Moreno Crater and Dominic Tamsel confidently snatched the World Cup ticket for title matches in Liverpool at the end of October. A ranking among the top 13 countries was necessary for this.
The best Swiss player in the final was Nou Sivert. The 23-year-old from Aargau shined with a total of 83.031 points, just 2.5 points clear of gold medalist Joe Fraser. The British (85,565) prevailed against the Turks, Ahmet Onder (85.131) and Adam Asil (84,465).
Reserve two places in the device finals
The Swiss also had a reason to celebrate in the Munich Olympic Hall. Seifert gave a solid performance over the top bar, which secured a place in the final on Sunday. He scored 14.133 points, the third best result of any athlete. Pavel narrowly missed qualifying for the final on the high bar, but finished ninth in the top spot.
He will represent Switzerland in the final on Sunday. On his second jump, Frey Dragulescu showed a tough – a three-some forward somersault tucked in with a half turn – and scored 14,383 points for his performance. This placed him eighth in the Top 8 Finals.
