About
Austrian alpine ski racer specializing in downhill and super-G, racing for Union Weissenkirchen and part of the OeSV's second training group (Mittrainierer/WC2 status). Made his World Cup debut in the Bormio super-G on 29 Dec 2022, scoring points immediately (17th). Recovered from a serious Dec 2023 crash in the Groden super-G (bone bruise to the right knee) to score points again on his very next start, 24th in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Best World Cup result to date: 13th, super-G, Cortina d'Ampezzo, 28 Jan 2023.
2 Europa Cup podiums (1 win, Santa Caterina Dec 2022). Lost OeSV national squad status for the 2026-27 season (announced May 2026); continues training with the Austrian team as a self-financed 'Mittrainierer' (WC2 group) via Union Weissenkirchen, with a stated performance-based pathway back to the squad. Did not compete at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics. FIS's own athlete biography has previously listed his status as 'Not active' despite him having raced World Cup and European Cup events through March 2026 per both FIS's own results table and Ski Austria's site; this field could not be re-verified this pass (the FIS bio page repeatedly returned a different athlete's profile on fetch - looks like an upstream rendering/caching issue, not a real status change).
