Personal life

Kauter's first sport was football, but a series of injuries lead him to turn to another sport. He took up fencing at age ten. His father, Christian Kauter, is a two-time Olympic medalist, and his brother, Michael Kauter, is a former Olympic fencer, both in épée.[10][11]

Kauter also pursues a musical career under the artist name YuRi. He released in 2009 his first album Summer in Sibirie, followed in 2012 by Kopf über Wasser. In 2013, he co-founded "I believe in you", a crowdfunding platform for sport projects in Switzerland.

gollark: ALL OF THEM. Am I right in saying that channels have modes, users also have modes, and each user-channel pairing has modes?
gollark: Now I just need to work out how "modes" work.
gollark: But are the records older than Haskell?
gollark: Those are suspiciously haskellous records.
gollark: Fascinating!
