Reception for the Swiss team from the Sochi Paralympic Games

At the Bernerhof, Alain Berset receives the Swiss delegation from the Sochi Paralympic Winter Games, some twenty people. He congratulates skier Christoph Kunz, gold medallist in the giant slalom, and the eight athletes who earned five diplomas.

“As elite athletes, you are role models,” he tells them. His department includes the Federal Bureau for the Equality of People with Disabilities: he makes the athletes ambassadors for equality between people with and without disabilities.
