Maximilian Mechler

Maximilian Mechler earns my respect simply for the courage his sport demands. Launching himself off ski-flying hills from a small Bavarian-adjacent town, he competed from 2000 and claimed silver at the 2012 Ski Flying World Championships in Vikersund, plus a World Cup team win in Willingen and an individual podium in Trondheim. Sustaining a career in a discipline that flirts with fear every single jump takes a rare kind of nerve. That he maintained his own website suggests someone thoughtful about his legacy too. I find his long, committed flight through a brutal sport quietly heroic and well worth remembering.
