“I was really calm in my mind,” says Elias. 🧘🏼 The 32-year-old mail carrier from Wallisellen took part in in Thun in August. “I knew I could reach my goal.” Yet he still had respect for the 226 km.

For a long time, Elias himself had little idea that one day that he would take part in an Iron Man event. Although sporty as a child, his doctor tells him four years ago that Elias absolutely has to do more exercise again to stay healthy. “I thought running is easy. Apart from good training shoes, I don’t need any equipment.” So Elias takes up running.

A year later, he runs his first marathon in Zurich. “A pro runs a marathon in about two hours, and I reached my destination in four hours and 48 minutes. But that didn’t bother me. I was just happy to have made it over the finishing line.” 🏁

His attention is then drawn to the Iron Man Switzerland event in Thun. “I needed a new challenge, something to clear my head.” He signs up in August 2024. From that point on, he trains six days a week, including running, swimming and cycling.

Elias checks his supplies one last time before starting in August 2025. Special gel for runners and water with mineral salts is all he eats in the next 14 hours and 40 minutes. Then, during the 20 kilometre bike section, Elias gets a shock – he feels leg cramps that almost force him to pull out. “At that moment, I had to win the battle against myself. “My body was tired, but my mind was fully there.” Elias keeps going. Finally, he reaches the finish line: “I can’t describe this moment at all, there were just so many emotions out there”🏆

And what does the future hold? “I still train several times a week at the moment, but now family is my number one priority.”

A few months ago, our apprentices Leoni injured her knee in a kickboxing competition – a dramatic experience for the up-and-coming talent. She’s pleased that she can rely on the electronic patient record (EPR) during treatment.

How did you get into kickboxing?

From the age of six, I could often be found at my uncle’s kickboxing school. He’s a Swiss champion several times over as well as my coach. I’ve been actively training for over five years – and up to six times a week before my injury.

What do you like about kickboxing?

The combination of technique, speed and mental strength. Every struggle is a challenge for the body, but also for the mind. You learn discipline and perseverance and to focus on the moment. Sport also gives me a strong sense of freedom and self-confidence.

Can you tell us more about the accident?

In the final minutes of the competition, I made a wrong move after a kick, fell and felt my knee crack. I wanted to carry on, but I collapsed again when I put weight on it. That’s why I went to the nearest hospital for an examination. The doctor told me that I’d need to have several checks performed. She also recommended that I open an EPR.

How did you use the EPR?

I was able to keep all documents, such as X-rays, medical reports and therapy plans, in one place. This was very helpful throughout the many stages, from hospital care to GP visits and physiotherapy. I didn’t have to bring any paper documents or remember what was said or prescribed and when.

What was the biggest advantage for you?

I was better informed about the entire treatment. In the past, I sometimes had difficulty remembering medical terms or understanding what was discovered during an examination. Now I can look it up in my record at any time.

Who would you recommend the EPR to in particular?

Anyone like me who practises a sport with a high risk of injury. But it actually makes sense for everyone, as you can store vaccinations, examinations or laboratory results in one place and access them at any time.

How are you doing today? Can you pursue your passion again?

I was diagnosed with a ruptured cruciate ligament, so I need to take things slowly. I’ve already been able to start fitness exercises and boxing training again. The kickboxing will have to wait a little longer. But my goal is clear: I want to compete again.

In the Valais heights, Freddy Riand lives his double passion: postman for 41 years in the morning 📬, passionate winemaker in the afternoon. 🍾

His estate "Le Balcon de la Lienne" (Cave Balcon de la Lienne) produces 3000-4000 bottles per year: Pinot Noir, Fendant, Diolinoir... It doesn’t get more authentic! 🇨🇭🍷

Family project with his wife Corinne, helped by oenologist Xavier Bagnoud and the whole family during harvest. For Freddy, it is "the best moment of the year" followed of course by a memorable raclette. 🧀

Every autumn, his cellar becomes a meeting place: tasting with pumpkin soup, 9 cheeses, cold cuts, dried meat and hot chestnuts. "People want authenticity. Every single grape comes from my vineyard!" 🍇

Rooted in Ayent, his parents' native village, Freddy proves that quality and regional anchoring speak louder than size! 💪🏔️ (Photos: Florian Spring)

Project management trainee at Swiss Post by day, DJ behind the turntables by night – Pamela’s life is the perfect mix! 🎶📦 At Swiss Post, she works on innovative projects, is developing both professionally and personally, and particularly appreciates the diverse team at PostalNetwork. “The flexibility that Swiss Post offers me is a stroke of luck – it allows me to combine the two sides of my life,” she says.

As qpaem, she gets crowds dancing with urban sounds, Afrobeats and more – whether at the Urban Vibez Festival above the rooftops of Basel, at the AfroHaus event in the club Das Viertel or even in lounge bars in Ghana. 🌍 And her dream? A Boiler Room set – in the middle of the crowd, streamed live. 🎧🔥

Her highlight so far: her performance at Gurtenfestival 2025. 🌄 “The dancing crowd, the energy – pure goosebumps!”

Pamela is keeping an open mind about the future: after completing the trainee program, she’d like to stay at Swiss Post – or use her skills in music marketing. Her motto is: “Don’t stress – what’s meant for you will find you.” ✨

Pamela shows that work and hobbies don’t have to be mutually exclusive – sometimes they come together to make the perfect beat. 💕

From 26 August 2025, Swiss Post will temporarily be unable to accept any postal goods consignments to the USA. This is due to the US government’s new customs regulations, which affect all postal companies worldwide. Important alternatives remain in place: document and express consignments to the USA are still possible. Swiss Post is working on solutions to ensure goods consignments can be shipped again as soon as possible.
