Former world-class gymnast Ariella Käslin, who now focuses on her Ironman career and is a big fan of rowing, gave the young people some tips for correctly handling the rowing boat. "It is important for the entire body is involved. It has to be a flowing movement of the arms, torso and legs "she told enthusiastic kids.
Acrobatic skiing star Conny Kissling was also present and showed some of the kids special balancing exercises all while the activities were animated by professional singer and beatboxer Knackeboul. He said: "Yesterday I had a concert in Bern, was a little tired here, but animating the athletes and kids has been really fun."
