Schwingen; Baselstädtisches Schwingfest 2012

Riehen – Willy Graber triumphed in the final bout of the Basel-Stadt wrestling festival against ISV wrestler Ueli Banz. With a draw against Bruno Gisler (both 9.00) and five victories against Christoph Sutter, Damian Villiger, Thomas Zindel, Thomas Stüdeli, and, in the final bout, Ueli Banz, the Bernese ground specialist secured the win. It is his fifth festival victory and his first outside of Graber's association region. The local wrestlers from Northwestern Switzerland were left with nothing but disappointment. However, Michael Gschwind from Basel-Landschaft managed to climb to second place thanks to a victory in the final bout, ahead of Banz, who ultimately lost the final.
