Career
Lukas Müller, who has been skiing since he was three, jumped from a ski jump for the first time at the age of 12. Within a very short time he was able to improve his performance and jumped only six months after his first jump in October 2004 from the K90 hill of his home club SV Villach .
In 2005 he became the Carinthian national champion and national cup winner for the first time. He was able to repeat this success in 2006. At the Nordic Ski Games of the OPA in the U16 age group in 2007 in Bois-d'Amont, France , he was first in the team and third in the individual jumping on the normal hill. In 2007 he was also fifth at the Austrian School Championships.
Müller completed his first international jumping in the Juniors Cup on March 3, 2007 in Toblach . He finished jumping on the normal hill in 9th place. In 2007 he started shortly afterwards in some FIS races , but could not achieve any notable successes there. In 2008 he jumped in the Alpine Cup and was able to win several competitions there, including in Oberstdorf and Seefeld in Tyrol . Because of this performance, he was accepted into the Austrian team for the Continental Cup in December 2008 and jumped for the first time on December 27, 2008 in Engelberg on place 37 on the large hill. At the Austrian championship in ski jumping in Bischofshofen in 2008 he finished eighth. On January 17, 2009, he was able to jump on the podium for the first time with second place in the COC jumping competition in Bischofshofen . In the second competition a day later he was able to repeat this result.
At the Junior World Championships in 2009 in Štrbské Pleso he was world champion on the normal hill and with the team. In the first Continental Cup competition after the world championship, he was able to win a jumping for the first time in Iron Mountain. He was also at the top of the podium in the second competition in Iron Mountain. On February 21st he won his third COC competition in Brotterode and a day later he was third in the second competition. This continued strong performance meant that he for the World Cup squad for jumping as part of the Nordic Tournament on March 6, 2009 at the Finnish Lahti was taken. In the qualification he was surprisingly 21st and finished jumping on March 7th, 2009 in 44th place. After qualifying for the World Cup in Kuopio on March 9th again with 26th place in the qualification , he was able to achieve 28th place in the final competition and thus his first World Cup points.
After two wins in the Continental Cup in Rovaniemi and Vikersund at the beginning of the 2009/10 Olympic season, Müller was reappointed to the Austrian World Cup squad for the Four Hills Tournament . At the opening competition in Oberstdorf , after a 17th place in the qualification in the competition, he was able to achieve the sixth place and thus his best World Cup placement. In the end, Müller achieved 19th place in the touring classification. In July 2013, Müller suffered a broken collarbone in a training fall, whereupon he underwent an operation and had to take a break of several weeks.
His personal trainer at SV Villach was Peter Berger , who already trained Thomas Morgenstern and Martin Koch .
On January 13, 2016, Müller suffered a serious spine injury in a fall on the ski flying hill on the Kulm as a forerunner of the ski flying world championship . He was diagnosed with incomplete paraplegia . After a legal dispute with the ÖSV, the accident was recognized as an occupational accident in 2019.
In September 2019, Müller completed the first part of the ski jumping trainer training.
Müller, who now lives in Spittal an der Drau , has an older sister as well as an older and a younger brother. His younger brother Alexander was also a ski jumper.
