She expressed her best wishes to the Swiss athletes at the Summer Games, which begin on the same day, as she told the media. With 128 participants, the Swiss delegation is the largest since the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles.
As Minister of Sport and Defense, she recalled the close cooperation between the armed forces and sport. At the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo, members of the armed forces won more than half of the record 13 medals for Switzerland. The promotion of sport is also bearing fruit in popular sport.
Amherd is in Paris until Sunday. She will take part in the opening ceremony. She plans to watch the tennis, swimming and fencing competitions live.
