Career

Trojani, who started for the Gstaad Ski Club, was part of the Swiss national team at the 1928 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz . In the ski jumping singles, he finished 24th in the first run and only finished 32nd in the end. In the second run, he jumped 63 meters, 15 meters further than in the first run, but couldn't stand the jump and fell. In the same year Trojani was the first ski jumper in Europe to jump over 70 m on the Bernina-Roseg-Schanze in Pontresina . With his 72 meters he was the first Swiss to set a new ski flying world record . Previously only Norwegians and Americans had exceeded this record.

At the following Nordic World Ski Championships in Zakopane in 1929 , he jumped in individual jumping on 52 and 51.5 meters and achieved 12th place as the best Swiss.

At the Swiss Championships in Les Diablerets in 1937 , he won his first and only national title.
