Hubert Strolz
Hubert Strolz, nickname "Hubsi", is a former alpine skier from Austria. At the 1988 Olympics in Calgary he won a gold medal in the combined and silver in the Giant Slalom. In the World Cup, he won a combined competition 17 January 1988, in Bad Kleinkirchheim. This event was a part of the Hahnenkamm-races which were transferred to "BKK" because there was not enough snow in Kitzbühel. Hubert was a sober racer and an eternal runner-up by finishing 2nd for 14 times. He was on the way to win another gold medal in the combined at the 1992 Olympics in Albertville but he fell down in the second leg of the slalom just a short distance before the finish line. Like in that case, he always didn't interpret losses as an unluck though it seemed so for the public. He did hold the view that his opponents did it better than he could obtain the bronze medal. He now runs a skiing and snowboard school in his hometown Warth.Overall victories
