biography

Renoth achieved his first great success when he reached third place in the World Cup combination in St. Anton on February 1, 1981 behind Phil Mahre and Herbert Plank . With this, he not only won his first World Cup points, but also stood on the podium in a World Cup race for the only time in his career. It was almost three years before he won World Cup points the next time. On December 18, 1983, he was seventh in the downhill on the Saslong in Val Gardena and thus won his only World Cup points in the downhill. Six weeks later he was able to score again with 15th place in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen combination . In February 1984 he was used at the Olympic Winter Games in Sarajevo and finished 22nd in the downhill. In the 1984/85 season , Renoth only won World Cup points once as tenth in the Furano Super-G . Since there was not yet a separate discipline World Cup in the Super-G, this result was part of the Giant Slalom World Cup.

The Super-G became Renoth's strongest discipline in the years that followed. After he won the combined World Cup points on February 9, 1986 as 14th in Morzine for the last time, he reached fourth place in the Super-G in Hemsedal three weeks later . He was only five hundredths of a second short of a podium finish. With a 14th place at the end of the season in Whistler , he finished the Super-G World Cup in 17th place. In addition, he became German runner-up in Super-G and Downhill in 1986 - behind Markus Wasmeier . Renoth was able to improve further in the winter of 1986/87 . In the first Super-G of the season in Val-d'Isère , the German again achieved fourth place and this time too he was less than a tenth of a second off the podium. Seventh place in the Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen followed in January. Because of these results he was able to start at the 1987 World Championship in Crans-Montana , where he was twelfth in the Super-G. In the World Cup followed an eighth place at the end of the season in Nakiska , with which he was sixth in the Super G World Cup and 41st in the overall World Cup and thus achieved his best overall World Cup placements. After that Renoth could only score one more point: On November 27, 1988 he won his last World Cup points with twelfth place in the Super-G on the Planai in Schladming .

Today Herbert Renoth is a supervisor in the German Ski Association (DSV), in the 2011/12 season he was the leading trainer in the Ia women's training group.
