The Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine supports kitesurfing world champion Camille Losserand

Geneva, 27 July 2023. Camille Losserand, last year's runner-up, confirmed her immense potential in the final. She carefully built her success by stringing solid scores on the board before breaking away. The local from Tarifa was in a class of her own and easily broke away to take the victory in front of her beloved supporters and family. All the best of the twintip, strapless/surfboard and hydrofoil disciplines met there.

" It is an immense joy to have won this very challenging competition. This victory is the result of a total investment in this discipline and the result of a very important work that has paid off and allows me to be among the elite of this sport , "commented Camille Losserand.

For the record, Camille Losserand had marked the spirits last year by becoming junior world champion in 2022 and vice-champion of the Big Air World Championship in 2022. At only 19 years old and after several Swiss and Spanish championship titles, Camille Losserand is now part of the world's elite in kitesurfing, a discipline discovered during her twelfth year.

The Sports and Exercise Medicine Centre of Hirslanden Clinique La Colline, certified by Swiss Olympic as a medical centre, now supports Camille Losserand in her sports preparation. This relationship symbolizes the new dimension taken by the champion. " The goal is to help her reach new levels to meet the new demands of her sports agenda and help her put all the assets on her side to stay in top shape and her sport as a professional kitesurfer," says Dr. Vincent Burki, sports medicine specialist at the Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine at Hirslanden Clinique La Colline.
