It’s the middle of August – the perfect Summer moment to have a smile and a light, entertaining read. How about rating the best looking boys who make sport in Switzerland?
Switzerland is a healthy country. Not only it always scores high on every study about life quality, happiness, education and business – it’s also a place where sport is loved, widely practiced and that regularly produces remarkable results.
Today I pick my personal chart about Swiss athletes, and I include people who are not actively in sport anymore, but that remain under the public eye thanks to the media and social media. Who would put on top of the chart? Here is my personal choice.
10. David And Philip Degen – Football
David and Philip are twin brothers and I don’t know who is better looking – it really is impossible to choose. So I feature them together.

Nicknamed “Spartacus”, Fabian has Italian origins. His sport career is so incredibly full of achievements, that I simply put a Wikipedia link here for anybody who might not know it. A national hero with a great body too.
