Supporting promising Swiss athlete Anina Hirzel as she takes the next step on the international stage.

NS Partners is proud to announce a new partnership with Anina Hirzel, one of the country’s most promising young middle- and long-distance runners.

At just 19 years old, Anina has already built an impressive record, including multiple podium finishes at Swiss Championships, a bronze medal at the U18 Mountain Running World Championships and participation in major international competitions. Her ambition is clear: continue progressing on the international stage and pursue her long-term goal of competing among the world’s elite athletes.

This announcement comes at a particularly exciting moment. In the coming days, Anina will represent Switzerland at the World Athletics U20 Championships in Eugene, Oregon, where some of the world’s most talented young athletes will compete on the international stage.

At NS Partners, we believe that success is built over time through commitment, discipline, perseverance and a willingness to pursue ambitious goals. These values resonate strongly with Anina’s journey and are at the heart of what attracted us to her project.

Sport has long been part of NS Partners’ culture. Whether through team challenges, employee-led sporting initiatives or collective projects such as Swim4LémanHope, we have seen how sport brings people together around shared values of commitment, resilience and mutual support. In this respect, Anina’s journey resonates naturally with the spirit that already exists within our organisation and the importance we place on long-term wellbeing, personal development and collective achievement.

More than a sponsorship, this partnership reflects a shared belief in long-term ambition, discipline and perseverance. At a pivotal moment in her career, Anina is earning her place on the international stage through talent, hard work and determination. We are proud to support her as she continues to push her limits and pursue her goals at the highest level of the sport.

Elite sport is often judged by results, yet those results are only the visible outcome of years of dedication, sacrifice and resilience. What makes Anina’s journey remarkable is not only her achievements to date, but also her commitment to continuous improvement and her determination to compete among the very best. It is this mindset, as much as the performances themselves, that inspires our support.

Every training session, every competition and every challenge is another step on the journey. I am grateful to have NS Partners supporting me as I continue working towards my long-term dream of competing at the highest international level. – Anina Hirzel

As she embarks on this next chapter of her sporting career, we are proud to stand alongside her and look forward to following her progress in the years ahead.
