Sweeping change puts Frei's Olympic dream in sight
China DailyPhilippine curlers Christian Haller and Alan Frei sweep the ice during a match. With money, time and an entrepreneurial mindset, Frei chose to set a challenging fitness goal to give his weight loss journey a clear purpose. "You have no chance for Switzerland, but you have a small chance for the Winter Olympics, representing the Philippines in cross-country skiing," the lawyer told Frei, whose mother is Filipino. At the same time, a trio of seasoned Swiss-Filipino curlers — electrician Enrico Pfister, his brother and construction worker Marc Pfister, and banker Christian Haller, who previously competed at world championships for Switzerland — were searching for a fourth member to establish a Philippines men's curling team. "I have never curled in my life, but you know, I have no talent in cross-country skiing, so let me try curling," Frei explained his thought process.
