MORE INFO Personal Information Hermann Maier (born December 7, 1972, in Altenmarkt im Pongau, Austria) is a champion alpine ski racer. ... Maier has won four overall World Cup titles (1998, 2000, 2001, 2004), two Olympic gold medals (both in 1998), three World Championship titles (1999: 2, and 2005) and 54 races on the World Cup circuit. Maier ranks among the finest alpine ski racers in history, which includes Toni Sailer, Jean-Claude Killy, Gustav Thöni, Ingemar Stenmark, Franz Klammer, Phil Mahre, Marc Girardelli, Pirmin Zurbriggen, Alberto Tomba, Lasse Kjus and Kjetil André Aamodt. Hermann Maier did not initially enjoy much success in ski racing. As a 15-year old at the Schladming ski academy, he was sent home after being told he wouldn't succeed because of his slight build, caused by growth impairments.

He returned home to his hometown of Flachau and his father's ski school, which remains Maier's home. He took up work as a bricklayer in the summer and a ski instructor in the winter. Participating in local races, Maier became a multiple regional champion in Salzburg and Tyrol, but still was not able to gain a spot in the strong Austrian World Cup ski team. Putting that behind him, his outstanding talent was recognized for the first time by Austrian coaches on January 6,1996, when he was timed with the 12th fastest time in a World Cup giant slalom in Flachau, although only starting as a forerunner, not participating in the actual competition. [1] This would become the starting point of his international career. Maier made his World Cup debut at age 23 on February 10, 1996, and finished 26th in the giant slalom at Hinterstoder, Austria. A year later in February 1997, he won his first World Cup event - a Super-G race in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany.

He quickly established himself as an explosive and dynamic racer, well known for his strength, willingness to take risks, and strong work ethic. Maier soon dominated alpine ski racing, winning the gold medal in the giant slalom and Super-G at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, only a few days after a dramatic crash in the downhill race where he flew spectacularly off the sunlit course and repeatedly tumbled into deep snow. That put him on the cover of Sports Illustrated and made him a well known sportsman around the globe. Maier won the overall World Cup title in 1998, as well as the Super-G and giant slalom season titles, and placed second in the downhill standings. In 2000 and 2001, he won the overall World Cup title, as well as the season titles in downhill, Super G, and giant slalom. Maier at "Day of Sports" Festival Vienna 2006. His racing career nearly ended following a near-fatal motorcycle accident in August 2001; he collided with a car on his way home from a summer training session in Austria.

Doctors nearly amputated his lower leg, but instead Maier underwent massive reconstructive surgery. Most believed his racing career was over, and he had to sit out the 2002 season, missing the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. He returned to international competition in January 2003 in Adelboden, Switzerland. Just two weeks later, he shocked the skiing world with an amazing Super-G victory in the skiing-mecca of Kitzbühel, Austria. In 2004, his first full season back, he reclaimed both the Super-G and overall titles, a feat widely seen as one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. In 2004, Hermann Maier received the Laureus World Sports Award for the "Comeback of the Year". His overall title was the fourth of his career. Reflecting his apparently indestructible nature, he is sometimes jocularly known as "The Herminator." After his 1998 Olympic gold medals in Nagano he also appeared on Jay Leno's Tonight Show on NBC - together with Austrian-born actor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is known worldwide as "The Terminator".

In 2004, Maier wrote an autobiography with his friend and former publicity agent, Knut Okresek. The book, Hermann Maier: Das Rennen Meines Lebens (in German), dealt mainly with his stunning recovery from the 2001 motorcycle accident. In 2005, VeloPress, a Boulder, Colorado-based publisher affiliated with Ski Racing magazine, acquired the worldwide English language rights to the book, which was published in time for the 2006 Olympics in Torino, Italy, as Hermann Maier: The Race of My Life. In October 2005, he won the opening giant slalom in Sölden to amass 51 victories in the World Cup. This placed him fourth on the career victory list, behind Ingemar Stenmark, Annemarie Moser-Pröll, and Vreni Schneider. On June 20, 2006, Maier announced he was switching to Head as his equipment sponsor, ending his long affiliation with Atomic. Also switching from Atomic to Head at this time were champions Bode Miller of the U.S. and Didier Cuche of Switzerland.

On January 18, 2008, Maier finished second in the Kitzbühel's Super-G. His career results in the Super-G races at Kitzbühel are the best in history (7 races: 5 wins and 2 second places). The following day, Maier finished fifth in the downhill. These were his best results of the 2008 season. On November 30, 2008, Maier won the first Super-G of the 2009 season, held in Lake Louise, for his 24th Super-G win. It was his 54th World Cup victory, but the first in nearly three years, and came a week before his 36th birthday. [2] It was Maier's fourth victory in the Super-G at Lake Louise, the last coming five years earlier.

Hermann Maier ends his storied ski racing career | Skiracing.com October 13, 2009 / By Hank McKee - Senior Editor Hermann Maier ends his storied ski racing career By Patrick Lang A week prior the start of the next alpine World Cup season one of the greatest legends of the sports surprisingly announced his decision to retire from the ski tour.

Double Olympic champion Hermann Maier, who turns 37 in December, informed the amazed Austrian reporters gathered at the last minute in Wien by his press agent and the Austrian Ski Federation that he had decided to end his career as one of the leading heroes of the sports after overcoming another series of health problems. Maier, a four-time overall World Cup champion and a winner in 54 World Cup competitions since February 1997, had to undergo minor arthroscopic surgery on his knee last spring forcing him to rest for a long time. Later on this summer, he crashed while riding his bike and hurt his leg. Finally last week, he managed to get back on his skis on the glacier above Soelden and seemed happy by his form. He said after a few hours of free skiing that he was planning to get back on his racing skis at the end of November at Lake Louise, in time for the first speed events of the new season. Yet, he decided in the meantime that it would not be such a good idea after all.

“I enjoyed free skiing the other day at Soelden and I was happy that my body was back in shape after that long break, it was one of my main goals this fall,” he first said at the press conference attended by dozens of journalists, TV crews and photographers. “Yet afterwards, I found out that it was also a good time to retire, it was a tough yet spontaneous decision which came up in my mind,” he added after a short pause during which he was overwhelmed by emotion and unable to speak. “Last Friday, I suddenly decided to quit as I wanted to retire in good shape and relax a little. A week ago, I was not aware that this could happen so quickly, but the fact that I feel physically so great certainly pushed me towards that decision.” “Ski racing is a demanding activity and you need to be totally fit and ready to fully charge the slopes to really have fun practicing it,” he told the press. “Last season I had some good results but I also felt that my body was sometimes tired and suffering.” “I just felt that it was time to retire as I felt fully healthy again.

I’m closing an important chapter in my life but I’m sure that there will be many more exciting moments to face from now on.” Maier exploded on the ski scene in February 1997 a month after breaking a hand in a downhill crash at Chamonix in surprisingly beating all top-favorites in a Super-G race at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. He became a world star a year later at the 1998 Winter Olympics clinching two gold medals only a few days after a horrendous crash in downhill. He was nicknamed “The Herminator” afterwards by his colleagues, the press and his numerous fans from all over the world because of his incredible determination and his reckless racing tactics. He won two more gold medals at the 1999 World Championships at Vail/Beaver Creek, in Colorado, and kept on dominating the scene until 2001, winning a total of 13 races that season. In March 2000, he captured his second overall World Cup title with a record of 2000 points. Unfortunately he suffered a terrible motorbike accident in August 2001 and was lucky to survive it after a series of operations.

After working very hard during his rehabilitation, he celebrated an incredible comeback in 2003, winning the treacherous Super-G race at Kitzbühel and a silver medal at the World Championships at St Moritz. In 2004, the Austrian clinched another overall World Cup title and in 2005 a fifth and last gold medal in giant slalom at Bormio, Italy. At the 2006 Olympics at Sestriere, he came in 2nd in Super-G and 3rd in giant slalom despite a bad cold which didn’t allow him to be at his best. In November 2008 he unexpectedly won his last race at Lake Louise, in Canada, despite strong pains at his back and finished 5th in February in downhill at the Val d’Isère World Championships. “I have reached much more that I thought in my great career, I’m really proud of what I was able to achieved, especially during my comeback years,” Maier also said.

“My goal at the beginning was to be a racer, I was passionate by that sport, but I never imagined I could be so strong during all those exciting years.” An intensive chapter of alpine ski racing is ending now and Hermann Maier definitively belongs to the groups of superstars having dominated it since the early 1930s.

… Read More He is the only American ski racer in history to win medals at three different Olympics.<br /><br /> Miller's fame was partly spawned by his 2002 Winter Olympics slalom performance.

That performance established Miller's reputation as a competitor who cares more about the way he skis rather than winning medals.

Throughout the Olympics, Miller said, "I'm just trying to ski in a way that's exciting for me."

After finishing disappointing 8th in the race Miller pointed various reasons of his failure including warmer temperatures, poor visibility and a need of an eye surgery while U.S. Ski Team coach Sasha Rearick suggested that "Bode wanted it too much".

The change in Miller's attitude comparing to his previous Olympics showed after he won a bronze medal at the super-G race when he admitted that "some days, like I said, medals donât matter. Today was one of the days where it does matter". Moment of controversy appeared after the race as NBC's reporter Christin Cooper while interviewing Miller kept asking him about his dead brother until he broke down in tears.
