from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Peter Fischnaller (born July 9, 1985 in Sterzing ) is an Italian luge athlete .

Hans Peter Fischnaller from Meransen has been tobogganing since 1998. The sports soldier has been a member of the Italian national squad since 2004 . He drives in front of the two-seater. Up to and including the 2007/08 season he competed with Klaus Kofler , and since the 2008/09 season with Patrick Schwienbacher . The duo Fischnaller / Kofler made their debut in the Luge World Cup in the first race of the 2003/04 season , where they finished 16th in Sigulda . Only one more mission followed this season. Since the following season, in which the doubles competed in all races, they started permanently in the World Cup. The Italians' best results were seventh in Lake Placid and Calgary . A fall in the last race in Winterberg prevented a placement among the top ten in the overall standings, so both finished eleventh. The following season brought no improvements for Fischnaller / Kofler, they finished 13th in the overall standings. In the following two seasons, the doubles steadily deteriorated, albeit only slightly.

Fischnaller has competed several times with Kofler at major international events. They finished the Luge World Championships in 2005 as 13th, in 2007 as 14th and in 2008 in Oberhof as 12. Things went even better at the Luge European Championships in 2006 in Winterberg , where doubles were ninth, and in 2008 in Cesana Pariol they finished eleventh.

Hans Peter Fischnaller is the older brother of tobogganist Dominik Fischnaller and cousin of tobogganist Kevin Fischnaller .
