|
|
Spanish skier from the mid 2000's who wasn't quite as good on the FIS world cup circuit as his name suggested.
|
|
|
|
Young Italian skier most probably related to fellow Italian Niccolo Angriman.
|
|
|
|
Sounds more like the name of a character that got slightly lost in translation in the
Spanish-language version of the Lord of the Rings, rather than a Spanish slalom specialist from the late 1990s.
|
|
|
|
There's been a surprisingly large amount of Armbruster's in the world of ski-racing and American Hayley is the
cream of the Armbruster crop. We were orginally told she was called Armbuster, which to be fair sounds better.
|
|
|
|
Sounding more like a character from a Beatrix Potter story, rather than a participant from one of
world's most exciting sports, American Theodore Badger raced in a number of FIS slalom events in the early 2000's.

|
|
Or "Mr Bastard" to you. Forget "Herge's Adventures of Tintin", what the boys and girls at SnowKings want to read about is
"Herve's Adventures of Ski Racing", all about the capers of a French Alpine skier in the 90's.

|
|
|
Skier from New Zealand who competed in the Super G at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Until someone tells us otherwise we believe that you pronounce Fanny's surname as Shmeller,
which is just comedy gold as far as we're concerned. She's a slalom specialist from the German resort of
Garmisch-Partenkirchen for those of you that are interested. And at over 6 foot tall she's one of the tallest Fanny Shmeller's
we've ever come across !
Old Fanny has achieved now achieved global fame thanks to the legendary appearance of
Fanny Chmelar with Bradley Walsh on The Chase
on ITV.
|
|
|
|
Skier from the Czech Republic who's had a few stinking runs in her time.
|
|
|
|
Everyone loves a skiing fati. And Italian Fillipo is our favourite fati of all time.
|
|
|
|
The Swiss skier lived up to his name at the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, when he
just pipped the legendary Swede Ingemar Stenmark to snatch silver in
the Giant Slalom. And if he'd just found another two-tenths of
a second and beaten fellow countryman Heini Hemmi he would have been nicknamed Very. Probably.
|
|
|
|
Great name. Great skier. The Swiss racer claimed silver in both the women's Downhill
and the Super Combined at the 2009 World Championships in Val d'Isere and would have been
amongst the favourites for gold at the 2010 Winter Olympics but unfortunately missed out due
to a hip injury.
|
|
|
|
Flying Canadian World Cup skier who missed the 2009-10 season due to an horrific knee injury but fought back well.
|
|

The Italian proved that he was anything but, when he grabbed the bronze medal in the downhill at the 1976 Innsbruck
Winter Olympics behind legends of the era Franz Klammer and Bernhard Russi.
|
|
|
|
Italian skier who raced at a few FIS meetings in the late 90s.

Full name William, he was known to his mates as Willy. Probably.

|
|

The Swedish skier competes with
Simona Fartakova
in our minds for the top-named skier ending in "a".
