The impressive record of success of the Kitzbühel Ski Club: With alpine skiers Toni Sailer, Christian Pravda, Anderl Molterer, Ernst Hinterseer, Hias Leitner, Hansi Hinterseer and Nordic combination athlete Klaus Sulzenbacher as well as cross-country skiers Maria Theurl and Markus Gandler, no less than 47 Olympic and World Championship medals were won- 18 of which are gold ! The Kitzbühel Ski Club, host of the annual Hahnenhamm race, can look back on a long history and development. In the winter of 1892/93 the first ski tracks were made on Kitzbühel slopes by legendary Franz Reisch.
The history of the Kitzbühel Ski Club began in 1902 with a meeting to found a free "winter sports association". The first Hahnenkamm race was held in 1931. In the years since the founding to today the Kitzbühel Ski Club has managed to make a big name for itself in the world of skiing thanks to the successful athletic achievements of its members as well as its organizational services. Today, with about 3,500 members, it presents itself as one of the oldest and also most successful ski clubs in Austria. And the end of its success is nowhere in sight. |
