biography

Bauer gained his first international experience at the 1985 Junior World Championships in Jansá , where he was 35th in the downhill and 44th in the giant slalom. Without having previously achieved World Cup points , he took part in the 1991 World Championship in Saalbach-Hinterglemm . There he reached 15th place in the slalom. Five weeks later he also achieved 15th place in the World Cup slalom in Lillehammer and thus won his first World Cup point. In the 1991/92 season , in which the best 30 of each race received World Cup points for the first time, he drove under the fastest 25 in five slaloms and achieved 16th place in Wengen as the best result . He also won the slalom classification of the Nor-Am Cup this winter . On January 17, 1993, Bauer finished ninth in the Lech slalom for the first time in the top 10. At the 1993 World Championships in Morioka-Shizukuishi he was 18th in slalom, 21st in combination and 35th in giant slalom. Two more top 10 results followed at the beginning of the 1993/94 season : in the slalom of Park City he was tenth and in the slalom of Stoneham ninth. It was used at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, but was already out of the first slalom run.

Two ninth places - he did not achieve better results in the World Cup - he also achieved in the 1994/95 slaloms in Tignes and Wengen. Two tenth places in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Bormio and another three top 20 results helped him to place 15 in the Slalom World Cup - his best result in the Discipline World Cup. That winter, Bauer was also successful in the European Cup . With two victories in the two slaloms in Tarvisio and three second places, he secured the slalom classification and reached fourth place in the overall European Cup, tied with the Swiss Patrick Staub . In the 1995/96 season , Bauer's best World Cup results were two tenth places in the slaloms of Park City and Madonna di Campiglio . At his last major international event, the 1996 World Cup in the Sierra Nevada , he only started in slalom, but was disqualified in the first round. Three weeks after the World Cup, he became the German slalom champion in Zwiesel . In 1992 he had already achieved second place behind Peter Roth in the German slalom championship.
