Swiss National Knie 2009










Mary Jose, Fredy Jr., and Geraldine Knie. Fredy appears to be taking it easy this year. The Knie's are an isolated example of the "family thing" remaining very good. Often times the quality of the show suffers because of the lack of infusion of new blood. They feel they have a job no matter what, so why work at it. I also understand the seating capacity in the tent has been reduced from 2500 to 2100 due to a new EU ruling.

The reduction of seating sound strange, as Switzerland is not part of EU rules. I supppose the reason is due to a practical solution for smaller areas during the tour.

Raffaele,
Unless something was lost in the translation, that is what Franco Knie was quoted in an interview.
