Career

During his active time from 1921 to 1933, Stefan Lauener, together with Ernst Feuz, was one of the best Swiss and Central European ski jumpers. In addition to his width, he was primarily known for his aesthetic posture in jumping. He celebrated his greatest success in 1925 at the FIS races in the Czechoslovakian Johannisbad , which subsequently became the Nordic World Ski Championships , when he blew up the phalanx of the then unbeatable Norwegians and Czechoslovakians with sixth place in the Nordic Combined.

At the Olympic Games in St. Moritz in 1928 he was the second-best Swiss ( Adolf Rubi was 11th) and came 13th in the Nordic Combined. In the same year he won the ski jumping of the Swiss championships in Gstaad and the combined ranking of jumping and cross-country skiing at the championships of the Bernese Oberland in Wengen . From 1927 to 1928 , the Oberlander, who worked as a master baker , also held the office of president of the famous Wengen ski club. In 1929 he took part as a ski jumper for the last time in the Nordic World Championships in Zakopane , Poland , but could not place himself in the top ranks and ended up in 21st place with jumps on 48 and 48.5 meters. After the appearance of the young guard in the Swiss jumping circus around Fritz Kaufmann and Marcel Reymond , he ended his career in 1933.
