Matthias Mayer

Born:

June 9, 1990, in Afritz am See, Carinthia

The Mayer Moment:

Following in his father’s footsteps: 26 years after Helmut Mayer’s Olympic silver in Calgary, son Matthias won his first gold in Sochi in 2014. He added two more in 2018 and 2022!

The Trademark:

The instinct of a champion. Always delivering when it matters, making him almost unbeatable at the Olympics.
