Christian Moser (born December 20, 1972 in Villach ) is a former Austrian ski jumper .

Career

On January 4, 1990, Moser started as a jumper within the national group at the Four Hills Tournament for the first time in a World Cup competition in Innsbruck and finished the World Cup in 72nd place. Two days later, he was only able to achieve 74th place in Bischofshofen . It was not until the 1992/93 season that success came about. Already in the first competition on December 13, 1992 in Ruhpolding , he was able to attract attention with 24th place on the large hill. On December 19, he was able to reach 8th place in Sapporo, Japan, and thus his first top 10 placement. After he finished the season in 51st place in the overall World Cup ranking, he was back in the national team the following season . After a good start to the season with places in midfield, he was nominated for the Austrian team for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer . In Lillehammer he and the team won the bronze medal together with Heinz Kuttin , Stefan Horngacher and Andreas Goldberger . He also achieved a surprising 10th place on the normal hill and 26th place on the large hill. Two weeks after the games, he and the team won the World Cup team competition in Lahti and thus stood on the podium for the first time in his career. Only one day later he was able to achieve 2nd place in the individual competition on the normal hill and thus another podium place. After a successful 1994/95 season , he was able to occupy 21st place overall in the World Cup.

The following 1995/96 was less successful. He was only able to jump onto the podium again with the team in Lahti, but this time not as the winner, but only as second. At the Nordic World Ski Championships in 1995 in Thunder Bay , Canada , he was only able to achieve 15th place on the normal hill and 41st place on the large hill in individual jumping. In the team competition he came together with Andreas Widhölzl , Reinhard Schwarzenberger and Andreas Goldberger only on the 6th and last place. During a competition, Moser, who at that time still weighed 58 kg with a height of 1.81 m, suffered a collapse and subsequently had to admit his anorexia .

After five more World Cup competitions after the World Cup, Moser ended his active career in jumping on January 26, 1997 after jumping in Hakuba .

In 2005, Moser founded the ski jumping club Wiener Stadtadler to enable ski jumping as a sport in the Austrian capital. The club is the only active ski jumping club in Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland.
