Career

Marcel Höhlig , a trained chef and sports soldier for the German Armed Forces who started for WSV Oberhof 05 , began skiing in 1987. In 1995 he won the Germany Cup in the junior age group, after winning the pupil's cup in the S15 age group last year. He has been competing in international competitions since 1998. He made his debut in the World Cup in 2001 at a Gundersen competition in Kuopio and immediately came eleventh. The Klingenthaler came into the top ten for the first time in a sprint race in 2002 in Val di Fiemme . His best placement so far in 2002 was a seventh place in the Liberec sprint , which he repeated in 2006 at a Gundersen competition in Harrachov . His first season in 2001/02 was also his best of his career with two 16th places in the overall World Cup and Sprint World Cup rankings.

In 2002, he competed in two competitions of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games of Lake City Salt in Soldier Hollow . In the sprint he was only 25th, but won the silver medal with the relay alongside Ronny Ackermann , Georg Hettich and Björn Kircheisen .

For this he received - together with the season - the silver laurel leaf on May 6, 2002.

After the games, Höhlig rarely achieved results in the top ten. He also switched increasingly between World Cup and B-World Cup. Neither for world championships nor for the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin , he received a starting place.

On December 28, 2007, he resigned from competitive sports because he was no longer part of the A-squad of the German combined team.

After his active career, Höhlig became a coach. From June 2009 on he trained the Nordic jumpers in the Fichtelgebirge (Northern Bavaria). There he looked after the Fichtelgebirgsadler. The Fichtelgebirge jump and combination team consists of various clubs in the region. In November 2013 Höhlig was named Trainer of the Year by the German Ski Association. Since autumn 2014 he has been working as a jumping trainer for female ski jumpers at the Klingenthal federal base .
