Biography

Born on June 9, 1990, in Afritz am See, Austria, Matthias Mayer’s nickname is Mothl. He still has his first pair of skis. The day he got them was pure happiness. Influenced by his family, he loves the physical exertion before a race and the relief after the finish, but also watching the sunrise when training early in the morning on the glacier. He won gold at the 2014 Olympics, a second Olympic gold in the 2018 Super-G and a third in the Super-G in Beijing in 2022, which was also his last year as a professional skier. He likes mountain biking and tennis, loves walking in the mountains, listens to Red Hot Chili Peppers to get pumped up and Coldplay to relax, and he admires Roger Federer.
