TRANSITION FROM AUSTRIA TO GERMANY
After a long career with the national team in his native Austria, that included 279 World Cup races for Austria, two Olympic Games and seven World Championships, one World Championship silver (2011 in team competition), one World Championship bronze (2013 in the super combination of downhill and Super G), he learned he no longer had a place on the Austrian A team. After marrying his German wife in 2019, he changed his national affiliation to Germany with the consent of each nation and approval of the International Ski Federation in June 2019.

In April 2016, he had an audience with Pope Francis and a blessing for his new daughter Magdalena. (Instagram, 20 Apr 2016)
