Biography

Alpine skier Sepp Wildgruber finished seventh in the downhill at the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics, representing West Germany. He specialized in the speed events downhill and Super-G, but never won a World Cup race, but finished second and third twice in 1985 within a few weeks. As he had to take over his parent’s farm due to his father’s early death, he could only ski in winter and could not train in the summer. In 1989 Wildgruber retired to run the family farm.
