Alex Wilson, born 1990 in Jamaica, has been sprinting for Switzerland since 2006. He is not only Swiss record holder in the 100-meter and 200-meter sprint disciplines, but has also brought home the bronze medal at the European Athletics Championships in Berlin and is Basel Sportsman of the Year 2019. The fastest Swiss sprinter from Basel (LAS Old Boys Basel) easily wins the hearts of sports fans. His kind and authentic manner – always open and direct – complements his very Swiss motto perfectly: “Hard work beats talent.”
