Default Herminator is back!

From Snowtime.com :

Former World Cup champ Hermann Maier wins Super G



"LAKE LOUISE, Alberta (AP) _ Hermann Maier lead an Austrian sweep at a World Cup super giant slalom race Sunday, beating Michael Walchhofer and defending overall champion Stephan Eberharter. maier finished in 1 minute, 36.69 seconds, 0.26 seconds ahead of Walchhofer, who won Saturday's downhill race. Eberharter was third in 1:37.24. Maier, a two-time Olympic gold medalist who placed 10th in the downhill, was in top form from the moment he came out of the starting gates, getting faster as he flew down the course. "I'm very, very happy with a great performance," Maier said. The three-time overall World Cup champion has been recovering from a devastating motorcycle accident that almost cost him a leg in 2001. "

No - I am a longtime fan. This guy has been around forever and has made numerous comebacks. Wasn't he injured badly 2 or 3 years ago? I always wondered if he loved to ski and win himself or if it was his father that has pushed him into it. In either case - he has an impresive record.

yeah it's impressive he won one day before his birthday. Our media is quite thrilled *g* reporting about it again and again. I`m not into skiing at all but he`s cool

( wonder when it starts snowing again here much too warm)

I'm his fanclub member

I have few MB on my hard disk about him, but it's too much to post here

But if anybody interested, I'll send articles by e-mail.

Just a little more:



Hermann Maier's comeback from a life-threatening motorcycleaccident was completed Saturday as he led an Austrian sweep ofthe podium in a World Cup downhill.

I think he's made a great recovery, that was a bad accident he had!

But sorry, I'm not a fan of his... For me it's Kalle Palander all the way!!!

Kalle is very cool guy, I saw him in Kranjska Gora. And he is also fabulous in slalom, but I prefer fastest stuff like downhill...

Thanks for the link!!

I too am a slalom girl myself. I also had an obsession about Ingemar Stenmark - though you may be too young to remember
