  • Lukas Studer is currently reporting on the Olympic Games in Paris for Swiss television SRF, alternating with Annette Fetscherin.
  • In an interview with "Schweizer Illustrierte ", the 47-year-old gives an insight into his private life and also reveals that he has been dreaming of a beach bar for some time.
  • "I really do cry a lot, but they are always positive, grateful tears. In moments when I realize what a privileged life I have," says Studer.

"In 2012, meningitis put me out of action from one minute to the next for three months."

In an interview with "Schweizer Illustrierte ", Lukas Studer looks back on the moment twelve years ago that showed him how quickly life can be over.

Since then, he has enjoyed life even more intensely - also because "nothing upsets him so quickly".

Little Lukas wanted to become a farmer or an animal rights activist

For the next two weeks, the 47-year-old and Annette Fetscherin will be reporting live from the Olympic Games in Paris for Swiss television SRF for several hours every day.

As a child, however, little Lukas dreamed of becoming a farmer or animal rights activist one day. This also has something to do with the fact that the Studer family lived next to a farm.

Today, the father of three children dreams of having his own beach bar in Costa Rica. "But if need be, one on Lake Pfäffikon will do," says Studer with a laugh.

Lukas Studer: "I really cry a lot"

Lukas Studer's trademark are his gilets. However, he doesn't spend most of his money on fashion, but on travel.

In an interview with "Schweizer Illustrierte", the sports presenter also reveals that he really does cry a lot, "but they are always positive, grateful tears".

Tears roll down Studer's cheeks in those moments when he realizes what a privileged life he has. But sometimes just a sunset is enough.

"Or when I hear beautiful national anthems or at a rousing concert." So it could well happen that Lukas Studer will often be seen with tears in his eyes in Paris over the next few days.
