Alois Lipburger (born August 27, 1956 in Andelsbuch , Vorarlberg , † February 4, 2001 near Füssen ) was an Austrian ski jumper , teacher and ski jumping trainer.

Career

During his training as a ski jumper in Stams, Lipburger was a member of the then Stams junior jumpers group around Karl Schnabl , Toni Innauer , Willi Pürstl , Rupert Gürtler and Alfred Pungg and then a member of the Austrian ski jumping team of the 1970s that Baldur Preiml formed. After leaving school, he studied sports and philosophy at the University of Innsbruck and graduated with a master's degree. After his career and his studies, he returned to the ski school in Stams as a teacher and trainer .

As an active ski jumper , he achieved his greatest success by winning the silver medal at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti in 1978 . He achieved a total of twelve top ten placements at various major ski jumping events. Lipburger trained the German national team of Nordic combined and built the French ski jumping team in 1985/86. He then worked as a ski instructor at the Stams ski school. From 1999 he took over the role of national trainer for the Austrian ski jumpers.

On the way back from the World Cup show jumping in Willingen, Martin Höllwarth's car with co-drivers Lipburger and Andreas Widhölzl got out of control on a country road near Füssen and rolled over several times. Lipburger died, the other two inmates got away with minor injuries.

Personal

Toni Innauer , Alois Lipburger's best friend, told in 2005 on the occasion of the HRM symposium in the town hall in Andelsbuch how Lipburger was cheated for the world title (Lahti 1978) and mocked with silver: “The event was typical for him: Liss (nickname of Alois Lipburger ) was sorry for the referee who made this mistake. Others would have raged like crazy! "All colleagues were flabbergasted, especially Innauer:" He was just harder on himself than on others. "
