Herman Maier
HERMAN MAIER
Herman Maier known as “The Herminator” is a legend within the alpine skiing world. At the age of 34 his status in Europe goes beyond rock star with 51 World Cup wins under his belt (second most all-time). At the end of the 2000-01 season, he had accumulated 41 victories. Only three racers in the past have had more and they needed 10 or more seasons to accomplish what Maier did in four. In 2001 Maier was involved in a motorcycle crash which nearly cost him his leg. There was a concern that he may not return to racing circuit but this put to rest when he made a complete comeback and won the World Cup title in 2003-04.
