Wrestling festival in Mollis: Wicki shines, Urner leads after two courses!
The Federal Wrestling and Alpine Festival (ESAF) opened today, August 30, 2025, in Mollis, Glarnerland. The atmosphere is electric as 274 wrestlers compete against each other. There are four courses on the schedule for the first Saturday of the competition, and the fans are excited to see who will fight their way to the top of the rankings.
Particular attention is paid to Joel Wicki, the top favorite, who started the competition with a lot of self-confidence. Wicki, who is considered the wrestling king, has paid all his bills so far and is therefore well prepared. Reported on this oltnertagblatt.ch that he has shown excellent performances in the last few weeks.
The top in view
The competition promises exciting fights, especially since a wrestler from Uri is already at the top after two rounds. Many of the spectators are here to experience the performances of the Swiss wrestlers up close. The coverage of the event is in full swing and fans are full of expectations to see how the rankings will develop over the course of the festival luzernerzeitung.ch writes.
The competition is not only a challenge for the wrestlers, but also demands a lot from the helpers, the so-called hosts. esaf2025.ch is currently calling for help to warmly welcome the wrestling family. Volunteers are wanted for various tasks, from assembly and dismantling to special activities such as driving a forklift. Hosts also have the opportunity to offer accommodation for those visiting. Anyone who provides a tent, mobile home or room can contribute to the festive atmosphere.
One of the big challenges will turn out to be the support in the Glarnerland tent, which has been in operation since August 15th. Support in the service and buffet is urgently needed here in order to provide optimal care for both wrestlers and visitors. The organization of the festival is full of loving details, and the organizers rely on friendliness and attentiveness to ensure that everyone involved has an unforgettable experience.
The coming days will show who can prevail in the wrestling ring. Until then, things will remain exciting and Glarnerland can look forward to a very special festival.
