Matthias Mayer has his big hour every four years – after 2014 and 2018, the Austrian wins gold for the third time.
The three-time Olympic champion Matthias Mayer is not only the product of talent and a sense of family, but also of meticulous work.
What does this man actually have with the Olympic Games? Matthias Mayer has taken part in the Winter Games three times and each time he has won a gold medal. That’s extraordinary. But it’s crazy that his page of fame is almost written. Sure, he has won eleven times in the World Cup: in Kitzbühel, in Bormio, in Kvitfjell, for example. But the Austrian has never had a small crystal ball for the best of the season in a discipline, and it wasn’t enough for a World Championship medal either.
