About Hannes Trinkl
- Hannes Trinkl (born 1 February 1968 in Steyr) is an Austrian former alpine skier. Trinkl was the bronze medallist in the downhill in the 1998 Winter Olympics, finishing 0.01 seconds ahead of fourth-placed Jürg Grünenfelder. His first World Cup victory was a Super-G in Lech in December 1993, where he won with a bib number of 51, after weather conditions improved after the early starters had completed their runs.
- This is the highest start number for a male Super-G winner until now. Trinkl retired from competition in 2004.
- He subsequently served as race director for Alpine Skiing World Cup competitions in his hometown of Hinterstoder and vice president of the Austrian Ski Federation before being appointed as race director for men's speed events on the World Cup from the 2014-15 season.: As a race director of the International Ski Federation, abbreviated by its French initials, FIS, he also is the course setter for male downhill races in the World Cup, in the World Championships and in the Olympic Winter Games.
- In the Super-G he will support the course setter who is one of any other nation (but such a course setter is to determine by the FIS early enough; that will happen in regard to all matters of course settings, therefore also for slaloms and giant slaloms, male or female).
