Ramon Gysin - President
I have been actively lifting weights for more than 20 years and was allowed to lift in the national squad and in the national league A for many years. With just as much passion I have competed in CrossFit, Powerlifting, Strongman and stone throwing. As president of the Olympic Weightlifting Club Beider Basel, it is important to me to lead a well-organized club and to pass on to the members my joy for lifting heavy objects.

Nora Jäggi - Social Media
After many years of intensive training in olympic weightlifting and several Swiss championship titles and participations in international competitions, I decided in 2020 to no longer compete. Now it is more fun for me to support our athletes in the club at competitions, to coach them and thus to be more active behind the scenes instead of being on the platform myself. I enjoy passing on my many years of experience at national and international competitions to others. I am responsible for the social media channels of the club.
