biography

Vogl won points in the World Cup for the first time on January 16, 1994 with tenth place at the Hahnenkamm Slalom in Kitzbühel . For several years it was hardly ever possible to surpass this result. He was considered an eternal talent of the German Ski Association . He was rarely able to implement good training performances in competition - also due to the high start numbers. Injuries and material problems did the rest.

In between, Vogl even dropped out of the promotional team and had to finance himself. But the national coach at the time , the Austrian Werner Margreiter , held on to him and Max Rauffer in 2004 . Both of the association's “oldies” finally proved their strengths due to the unconventional motivational methods, such as the 10,000 euro deposit for reaching the first starting field. With his third place in the slalom in Flachau in December 2004, Vogl had already proven his ambitious form and fulfilled the World Cup norm.

At the Lauberhorn slalom in Wengen on January 9, 2005, he achieved the first slalom victory for the DSV in 14 years. On icy slopes and difficult conditions, he completed two flawless runs and left Croatian Ivica Kostelić and Austrian Benjamin Raich behind. Nevertheless, he also benefited from the disqualification of the originally leading Italian Giorgio Rocca due to a peat error. Vogl also proved in the 2005/06 season that he was particularly fond of the Wengen slalom slope when he finished third again on the podium.

At the 2005 World Championships in Bormio , contrary to his expectations, Vogl was unable to intervene in the competition because a stubborn iris infection , which he contracted while playing with his daughter Lena, who was born in 2002, prevented his start. At the 2004/05 World Cup finals in Lenzerheide , Vogl finished second behind Mario Matt . He finished the Slalom World Cup in fifth place with 310 points, and in the overall World Cup he finished 27th. His fifth and final place on the podium was on January 27, 2007 with third place in the first of two slaloms in Kitzbühel.

On October 21, 2008 Vogl announced his retirement from active ski racing. He made this decision because of a stubborn bowel disease and the resulting large training deficit.
