Ski Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 Wooooo Hooooo!!! Slovenian downhiller and Mount Hood Summer Ski Camp coach Andrej Jerman won today's downhill at Garmich, Germany. It was the first ever World Cup downhill win for Slovenia and the first time the 28 yr old Jerman has ever been on the podium. The cool thing about it is that Slovenia has almost no budget (they used to have some really good slalom racers), so they send their racers to "work for food" and training at ski camps. "Andrej will return to his home with a hero's welcome, although he already a hero among the hundreds of junior racers that he's worked so hard to help," said one of his coaches. "This is a great day, but it will not change Andrej except to say that he will be buying the cheesburgers and sausage tonight." Jerman is an easy guy to root for and was my daughter's coach for one session at MHSSC. Bode finished nearly three second out in 28th. Quote
