King of wrestlers is a beggar among sportsmen
Wrestling king Stucki Christian returns the winning muni Kolin. And receives 30,000 francs in return - a pittance.
After a good 40 seconds, it's all over. Wicki down, Stucki up, the final round over. The ESAF 2019 in Zug is history, 34-year-old Stucki is king of wrestling for the first time. Winner's trophy: Muni Kolin. Value: approx. 30,000 francs. Later, when asked what he would do with the winner's muni, Stucki replies: "I'll give it back, I'm not a farmer, it would scarf up my lawn." And instead of Kolin, he receives the equivalent value of around 30,000 francs.
500 Kolins

500 Kolins
The weekend was spent swinging in Zug and golfing in Atlanta. The winner of the FedExCup Final is Rory McIlroy and will receive 15 million dollars for his efforts. After four rounds at the East Lake Golf Club in Georgia, the Northern Irishman finished four shots ahead of American Xander Schauffele to secure the highest prize money ever paid out to an individual athlete.
There can only be one
For comparison: The US Open is paying out record prize money for tennis players this year. The winner will receive 3.8 million dollars each. Or the equivalent of 126.67 kolins. A sum that, in addition to McIIroy's 500 kolins, also seems like a tip. Is there perhaps even a trend here: less muni, more money?
But all these numbers games are rubbish anyway. Because there is only one wrestling king: Stucki Christian.
