biography

The Digruber, who comes from Mitterbach am Erlaufsee , attended the main ski school in Lilienfeld from 1998 to 2002 and then the ski trade school with an advanced course for the vocational qualification test at TZW Waidhofen an der Ybbs . As a runner in the Lower Austrian regional team, he competed in his first FIS races in December 2003 and achieved his first podium in February 2006. After the end of the season, the then 18-year-old was accepted into the junior team of the Austrian Ski Association after three years in the regional team. In January 2007 Digruber took part in a European Cup race for the first time , but did not finish and continued to compete in FIS races for a year. After winning the Polish Slalom Championships in March 2007 and winning the FIS Super Combination in Matrei in East Tyrol in December 2007, he has been regularly in the European Cup since January 2008. He scored points for the first time with 17th place in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen slalom on February 17, 2008. Ten days later he was used at the 2008 Junior World Championship in Formigal, Spain , where he was eighth in the slalom and twelfth in the giant slalom. At the end of January he finished second in the giant slalom at the Austrian Junior Championships in 2008. After the winter he rose from the junior squad to the B-squad of the ÖSV.

On December 2, 2008, Digruber suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in the European Cup giant slalom on the Reiteralm , which is why he had to pause the entire 2008/09 season. In the winter of 2009/2010 he achieved numerous podium places in FIS races after the turn of the year and, after a few races without points, also achieved appealing results in the European Cup, including fifth place in the super combination of Sarntal / Reinswald on March 4, 2010. Im Digruber started the World Cup for the first time on November 14, 2010 in the Levi slalom . On his World Cup debut, however, the 22-year-old failed to qualify for the second run of the best 30. In his third World Cup race, the super combined in Bansko, Bulgaria on February 26, 2011, Digruber won his first World Cup points in 20th place. The next day he finished 23rd in the slalom. At the end of the season he was Austrian national champion in the super combined.

In the 2011/12 season Digruber was often used in the World Cup. As in the previous year, he won two World Cup points, with his best result of the season being 23rd in the Wengen slalom . In 2012 he began training as a top police athlete. In the 2016/17 season, Digruber won the slalom in Levi in the European Cup and achieved his best ever World Cup result in the Alpine Ski World Cup on December 11, 2016 with a 4th place in Val-d'Isère . In the 2019/20 season he tore a cruciate ligament on Saturday in the Chamonix slalom and was therefore absent for the rest of the season.

Marc Digruber lives with his wife, with whom he has been married since 2018, in Frankenfels , where there has also been a fan club since December 2011.
