A Night to Remember "Züri bi de Lüüt" – dive into the episode!

Writer's picture: Anna-Karina SchmittAnna-Karina Schmitt

Yesterday, I had the incredible opportunity to be part of the live broadcast of "Züri bi de Lüüt" on SRF1, hosted in the charming town of Richterswil. Despite the typically autumnal weather – with chilly winds and rain leading up to the event – the atmosphere was electric. Luckily, just before the show began, the rain cleared, and we were ready to go live. Shortly before my interview, I had the chance to see the final cut of what we had filmed in just one day. Watching a piece of my life’s journey unfold on screen, with so many people tuning in, stirred unexpected emotions.

 

Curious to see how it all came together and relive the moment?


 

A wild mix of feelings—some of the awkwardness that comes from hearing your own voice, combined with pride in seeing my life story from a new perspective. In that moment, I realized how much of my motivation for the sport is rooted in that same feeling—a deep sense of empowerment and self-trust.


I was equally moved by the inspirational personal stories shared by people from the lake zurich region. That evening, I also learned so much about Richterswil’s fascinating traditions, like the Räbechilbi festival and the local tale of the mermaid from Hüttensee.


It was a true honor. A heartfelt thank you to Fabienne Gyr and Salar Bahrampoori for your warm and lively moderation, and to the entire SRF1 team for bringing it all together!


Here is a link to the full episode (if you are watching from Switzerland, see up from min 56:57).

Anna, congratulations on this beautiful clip and interview! I hope I can join you for a one minute dive (I guess that's about my capacity) one day, just like 30 years ago. :)
