Günter Csar (born March 7, 1966 in Zell am Ziller , Tyrol ) is a former Austrian Nordic combined athlete and coach of the national team of the Austrian Ski Association . His greatest successes were the 1988 Olympic bronze medal and the 1991 world championship, both of which he achieved in the relay.

Career

The Tyrolean began training in Nordic combined in 1980. Three years later he took part in the Junior World Championships for the first time, in 1986 he won the silver medal in this event behind Andrei Dundukow from the Soviet Union and in front of the Czechoslovak František Repka . From the mid-1980s, Csar was regularly used at World Cup events, where he placed in the top ten several times in the following years. His first result was two fifth places, of which he reached the first at the start of the 1986/87 season: In Canmore, after jumping, he had even been in third place. Six years later he achieved another top 5 result at the World Cup in Murau .

Csar celebrated the greatest successes during his time in the national team of the ÖSV in the team competition. At the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary he won the bronze medal together with his cousin Hansjörg Aschenwald and Klaus Sulzenbacher . In running, Csar - whose stronger sub-discipline was jumping - had put his team in the lead. In 1991 the team led by Csar, Sulzenbacher and Klaus Ofner won the 1991 World Cup in Val di Fiemme and thus won Austria's first world championship title in Nordic Combined, with a 1: 16.4 minute lead over the second-placed French.

After his career ended, Csar became a combination trainer in the Austrian Ski Association in 1996 . From 2000 to 2004, as a technical trainer, he was in charge of training group 1 around Felix Gottwald , Christoph Bieler , Michael Gruber and Mario Stecher . In 2008 he became ÖSV junior speaker in the Nordic combined. At the same time, the World Ski Federation FIS has been using him as a technical delegate at various competitions, including World Championships and the Olympic Games, since 2005. At the 2019 World Championships in Seefeld , Csar was responsible as race director for the coordination and competition management of the Nordic combined and presented the Austrian flag at the opening ceremony together with Sulzenbacher.
