Seven Swiss athletes have been selected for the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics, including triple Pyeongchang 2018 champion Théo Gmür.

Gmür, who won standing downhill, super-G and giant slalom gold medals in South Korea, is one of five Alpine skiers named in the Swiss team.

The 25-year-old is also fresh from winning super-G and giant slalom bronze medals at last month's World Para Snow Sports Championships in Lillehammer.

Thirty-five-year-old Thomas Pfyl, who won two medals at Turin 2006, and 23-year-old Robin Cuche are also due to compete in standing races.

Murat Pelit, 39, and Pascal Christen, 29, have been selected for sitting events.


Luca Tavasci, 28, is the lone cross-country skier in the Swiss party, while fellow 28-year-old Romy Tschopp is due to become Switzerland's first Paralympian in snowboard.

Tschopp won a bronze medal in the snowboard cross team event at the World Para Snow Sports Championships.

The Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympics are due to run from March 4 to 13.

There is also due to be Swiss representation in the wheelchair curling tournament, but the final team has not yet been selected by Swiss Paralympic.
