That swastikas once flew in the Letzigrund, under which around ten thousand people cheered? Or what the invention of Bircher muesli has to do with collective outdoor bathing in Zurich's urban oasis? Sports historian Michael Jucker takes us through the Simply Zurich exhibition and tells surprising, often amusing and quirky stories from the sports history of the city and canton based on selected objects.
