A fourth medal for the Swiss delegation was won on Saturday with silver by the national team in the rope pulling event, which was only beaten 3-0 by Great Britain in the final.

On Friday, orienteers Simona Aebersold and Riccardo Rancan got the biggest non-Olympic summer multi-sport event off to a perfect start for Switzerland with their victories over the middle distance in southern China.
