biography
Paul Stutz first took part in races of the Nor-Am Cup and FIS races in December 1998 . In FIS races he reached the first podium places in the same winter and his first victory in January 2000. In the Nor-Am Cup he achieved his first top 10 placements in the 2002/2003 season ; in March 2005 he was second in the Mont-Tremblant slalom for the first time on the podium. Previously, he had already achieved second place in a European Cup slalom. At the Junior World Championships in which he participated in 2002 and 2003 , his best result was twelfth place in the 2002 combination.
In the World Cup Stutz debuted in January 2004. He took first part only in slalom and was initially in no race for the second round qualify. In the 2005/2006 season , the Canadian won the slalom classification in the Nor-Am Cup with a win in Hunter Mountain , a second place in Panorama and two further top 10 results. In the following years he took part in fewer and fewer races in the Nor-Am Cup and concentrated mainly on the World Cup. At the beginning of the 2006/2007 season he won his first World Cup points when he finished 20th in the Beaver Creek slalom . A week later he took part in a super combined in the World Cup for the first time on the Reiteralm ; but he will not win any further points until the beginning of next winter . At the 2007 World Championships in Åre , Sweden , he was eliminated in the second slalom run after he was in 21st place in the first run. Two years later, he stayed without a result at the 2009 World Cup in Val-d'Isère . This time he started in the super combined and retired in the slalom run. Stutz, however, was successful at the Canadian championships. From 2006 to 2009 he was a four-time Canadian champion . On January 20th, 2008 he reached seventh place in the Hahnenkamm combination in Kitzbühel with 25th place in the slalom and 50th place in the downhill and thus his best World Cup result so far. In the next two years, however, Stutz remained without World Cup points, which is why in the 2009/2010 season, in addition to the World Cup, he increasingly started in the Nor-Am Cup. With two wins in Sunday River and Waterville Valley , he finished second in the slalom classification this winter.
In January 2011 Stutz was able to score again in the World Cup for the first time in three years when he finished 25th in the slaloms in Kitzbühel and on the Planai in Schladming. Since then he has remained without World Cup points again. In the 2012/13 season he won the slalom classification of the Nor-Am Cup.
