## The tournament announcer for the Ascona Polo Cup on passion, respect, and the special feeling of Ascona

**Jan-Erik Franck is the tournament announcer for the Ascona Polo Cup and, as "The Voice of Polo," is a familiar voice in the sport. In an interview, he explains why Ascona evokes a feeling of Italy in him, what polo has given him – above all, respect – and why the tournament belongs among the top ten of its kind for him.**

When the matches are underway at the Ascona Polo Cup, one voice is always present: Jan-Erik Franck's. As "The Voice of Polo," he accompanies the events on the field – and knows like few others the fascination that characterizes the sport and this special place. We asked him what makes the Ascona Polo Cup so unique for him.

### Ascona – a feeling of Italy

> "When I think of the Polo Club Ascona, a feeling of Italy comes to mind first: this atmosphere of the Riviera and dolce vita."

It is the atmosphere that shapes Jan-Erik Franck's first impression – the Mediterranean lightness that lifts the place far beyond a sporting event.

### What polo has given him: Respect

> «Polo thrives on trust at full gallop – and what this sport has given me, above all, is respect: for the animal, for the speed, and for the danger posed by the opponent.»

In these words lies the full dual nature of the sport: pace and control, proximity and caution, courage and esteem all at once.

### What the Polo Club Ascona gives the region

> «What the Polo Club Ascona gives the entire region – something that cannot be read in any statistics – is trust and passion.»

For Jan-Erik Franck, it is above all the place itself that becomes the highlight:

> «First and foremost, the place is the highlight: the surroundings, the backdrop, and the overall portfolio. The gathering. Ascona belongs among the top ten tournaments and events.»

### His advice to anyone still hesitating

> “For those who are still hesitating about whether to come to the Ascona Polo Cup, I would like to say from the heart: let yourself be surprised, because it is unique. You don't have the feeling of being in Switzerland. And the friendliness will convince you. In a single word: Passion.”

An invitation that could hardly be more personal – and which describes exactly the feeling that makes the Ascona Polo Cup an experience to be remembered year after year.
