Kälin was not afraid to give birth to her son during the corona pandemic. “A basic trust is anchored in me, I believe in the natural course of things and that everything will work out,” he said in an interview. “Confidence and security are better than fear and panic, this applies to all situations in life.” That is why he did it without exams and ultrasound after the third month. “That wouldn’t matter to us anyway, we take it as it comes.”
To have plenty of time for little Lena in the future, Kälin has reduced her workload as a high school teacher. And his assignment as a referee at “Donnschtig-Jass” will not continue until the summer. Focusing completely on motherhood is out of the question for the Schwyzerin: “Because I like being a teacher and it would be a shame to give up when the state has invested so much in my training costs.”
Kälin wants to convey the connection to her homeland, the canton of Schwyz, to little Lena with regular excursions. He will teach there once a week in the future, and the fighter’s brother, Benedikt Kälin, also lives there on his parents’ farm, which he has taken over. She became the goddess of the youngest offspring in the family. “It is important to me that our son gets the connection with nature and animals from him.” (imh)
