Swiss Championship in Chriesistei spitting about to begin

Spitting is allowed here

On 4 July 2019, the Swiss championship in Chriesistei (Swiss cherries) spitting, will begin. This unique event is not only aimed at experts, but also at the general public. Participation is open to everyone. The sports spectacle is accompanied and supported by celebrities and moderated by Nik Hartmann.

In honor of the Swiss Cherry, the highlight of the season will be held in Zurich on 4 July. It will be interesting to see what kind of spitting skills the audience, celebrities and finally the "professionals" will exhibit.

Children are allowed to participate in their own competition. This year there will be a team competition as well, with six cantonal teams competing against each other in a bid for one of the medals.


Last year's winners
