My Take
Gustav Thoni belongs to a generation of alpine skiers I find easy to admire precisely because the sport asked so much for so little fanfare. Born in 1951 in South Tyrol, he raced the World Cup circuit in an era before today's sponsorship machinery, and being named Skieur d'or in both 1973 and 1974 marks him as the dominant all-rounder of his moment. What I appreciate is the South Tyrolean identity, that German-Italian border culture, woven into an Italian sporting legend. He later turned to acting too, which suggests a man comfortable reinventing himself once the racing was done.
