Career

Hartmann, who started for the SC Alpina in St. Moritz , made his international debut in the B-World Cup of Nordic Combined in February 1997. In Lake Placid , he immediately finished second. At the following Nordic Junior World Championships in 1997 in Canmore , Hartmann won the silver medal in the Gundersen singles on the normal hill. Four weeks later on March 15, 1997, he made his debut in the Nordic Combined World Cup . In Oslo he reached his first and only podium in his career with third place. In Štrbské Pleso he ran 14th again in the World Cup points.

The 18-year-old surprisingly traveled to the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano as a team member and came in 28th in the individual. In the team competition he achieved seventh place with the Swiss team. At the Nordic Junior World Championships in 1998 in St. Moritz , he and the team won bronze in the team competition. In March 1998 Hartmann came back to the World Cup and reached the places twelve and eight in Lahti and Oslo.

With the 1998/99 season , he played a full season for the first time from November of the same year. Until mid-December Hartmann impressed with good top 10 placements. Only in Steamboat Springs did he miss a single-digit result for the first time in 13th place. Shortly before the turn of the year, however, he finished fourth in Oberwiesenthal . At the Nordic Junior World Championships in 1999 in Saalfelden am Steinernen Meer , he won bronze in the individual Gundersen competition and silver with the team. Almost three weeks later he was in the team roster for the team competition at the 1999 Nordic World Ski Championships in Ramsau am Dachstein and finished ninth with Urs Kunz , Marco Zarucchi and Ivan Rieder .

As a result, Hartmann had to struggle with a significant performance low and even missed the points in some World Cups in the 1999/2000 season . Only in the team competitions did he achieve single-digit placements. At the Nordic World Ski Championships 2001 in Lahti , he finished 24th in the individual competition. With the team he reached tenth place. At the end of the season, after more than two years in Oslo, he was again among the top ten. At the Swiss championships in St. Moritz , Hartmann won his first national title ahead of Ronny Heer and Andreas Hurschler . After he started weak again in the following winter 2001/02, he went back to the B-squad in December and started in the B-World Cup until mid-January. He achieved two third places in Baiersbronn and also previously in Klingenthal.

At the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City , Hartmann came ninth in the Gundersen singles and seventh in the sprint. He was not used in the team competition. End of the season he missed in Lahti and Oslo as 11 and 12 each just under the top 10. In the Swiss Championships 2002 in the French Les Tuffes he secured his second national combiner individual stocks.

In the summer, Hartmann started at the Summer Grand Prix for the first time , but remained unsuccessful in Winterberg and Klingenthal. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 2003 in Val di Fiemme , Hartmann finished 30th in the Gundersen individual in the individual competition. In the team competition, he came in eighth place with the team. As a result, he stayed in the B World Cup, where he achieved three very good second places in Taivalkoski and Rovaniemi .

In December 2003 Hartmann came again for a year in the World Cup. Until December 2004 he achieved good top 20 placements, especially in the sprint races. At the Swiss Championships in Nordic Combined in 2004 in Hinterzarten , Germany, he reached fifth place. After further races in the B World Cup, he ended his active combined career with the start at the Summer Grand Prix 2005.
