Stephan Eberharter – Olympic Champion ...

Our son, Stephan, one two Gold Medals at the Alpine Ski World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm back in 1991 – even though, prior to that, he hadn’t even one a single World Cup race!

After this unexpected success, things didn’t go well for him and he was always held back by injuries. In 1994, he was only able to enter one World Cup race and he fell from the World Cup squad. It was not until the 1996/97 season that he truly came back on the scene with a number of good results in European Cup competition. On March 14, 1998, he was able to celebrate his first World Cup victory in the giant slalom at Crans-Montana. This was his real breakthrough.

On September 17, 2004, Stephan finally announced his retirement from racing.

Stephan won a total of 29 World Cup races, the overall World Cup twice and was three-time World Champion. These results make him one of the most successful Austrian skiers of all time.
