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.
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.
Sport career
Kauter placed third in the European Fencing Championship 2007 and in the World Fencing Championship 2011. In 2012, he won at Buenos Aires his first gold medal in a World Cup competition. A few months later, he competed in men's épée at the 2012 Summer Olympics, but was defeated in the second round by France's Yannick Borel.
He earned a bronze medal in the 2013 Berne Grand Prix and in the 2013 World Fencing Championships in Budapest. In the 2013–2014 season, he won the Vancouver Grand Prix after defeating reigning world champion Nikolai Novosjolov in the final and became no.1 in FIE rankings.
