==Life and career==
==Biography==
Born in [[Saas-Almagell]] in the canton of [[Valais]], Zurbriggen made his World Cup debut in January 1981, a month before his 18th birthday. With his victory in the downhill at Kitzbühel in January [[1985 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1985]] at age 21, he became the first to win World Cup races in all five disciplines. (The fifth discipline, [[Super Giant Slalom skiing|Super G]], was added in December [[1983 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1982]].)<ref>{{Citation| title = victories of Pirmin Zurbriggen on fis-ski.com, sorted by date | url = http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/604/613.html?sector=AL&competitorid=68531&type=result&category=WC&season=ALL&sort=P&discipline=ALL&position=3&place=&Submit=Search&bt=prev&limit=20&bt=prev&rec_start=20 | accessdate = 2011-12-30}}</ref>([[Marc Girardelli]], the second to enter this exclusive circle, won his first downhill race four years later at the same place).
Zurbriggen was born in [[Saas-Almagell]] in the canton of [[Valais]], the son of Alois, an [[innkeeper]], and Ida. His father competed as a ski racer in local competitions in the 1940s and 1950s, but quit the sport after his brother was killed in a training accident.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Johnson |first=William Oscar |date=27 January 1988 |title=The Swiss Golden Boy |url=https://www.si.com/vault/1988/01/27/117042/alpine-skiing-the-swiss-golden-boy-its-conceivable-that-pirmin-zurbriggen-the-big-cheese-on-the-swiss-team-will-win-a-record-five-gold-medals |magazine=[[Sports Illustrated]]|access-date=11 March 2016 }}</ref> Zurbriggen made his World Cup debut in January 1981, a month before his 18th birthday.

Zurbriggen retired from international competition after having won the [[1990 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1990]] World Cup overall title – his fourth, which was then the most overall titles won by a single racer, reached only once before by [[Gustav Thöni]] in [[1975 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1975]]. Again it was Marc Girardelli who followed him in 1991 with a fourth overall title, and Girardelli added another in 1993 to become the only male racer with five overall titles in World Cup history.

Pirmin Zurbriggen (born 4 February 1963) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer from Switzerland. One of the most successful ski racers ever, he won the overall World Cup title four times, an Olympic gold medal in 1988 in Downhill, and nine World Championships medals (4 gold, 4 silver, 1 bronze).

Biography

[edit]

Zurbriggen was born in Saas-Almagell in the canton of Valais, the son of Alois, an innkeeper, and Ida. His father competed as a ski racer in local competitions in the 1940s and 1950s, but quit the sport after his brother was killed in a training accident.[1] Zurbriggen made his World Cup debut in January 1981, a month before his 18th birthday. With his victory in the downhill at Kitzbühel in January 1985 at age 21, he became the first to win World Cup races in all five disciplines. (The fifth discipline, super-G, was added in December 1982.)[2] Incidentally Marc Girardelli, the second to enter this exclusive circle, won his first downhill race four years later at the same venue.

Zurbriggen retired from international competition after having won the 1990 World Cup overall title – his fourth, which was then the most overall titles won by a single racer, reached only once before by Gustav Thöni in 1975. Again it was Marc Girardelli who followed him in 1991 with a fourth overall title, and Girardelli added another in 1993 to become the only male racer with five overall titles in World Cup history.

Zurbriggen grew up in the remote village of Saas-Almagell, near Saas-Fee. With a total of 40 World Cup victories over nine years and five gold medals, he belongs to the "All-Time Greats" of alpine skiing, ranking fifth in all-time wins and having 169 Top Ten finishes.[3]

Zurbriggen left the World Cup tour as a hero to start a family; he was married the previous summer (30 June 1989) to Monika Julen (the sister of his best friend on the Swiss ski team, Max Julen),[4] with whom he has five children: Elia, Pirmin Jr., Maria, Alain and Leonie, who have all competed in ski racing.[5] He is the older brother of Heidi Zurbriggen, a winner of three World Cup downhill races, and a distant cousin of Silvan Zurbriggen.[6]

Zurbriggen now runs the "Wellness Hotel Pirmin Zurbriggen" with his parents in Saas-Almagell and another, "Apparthotel Zurbriggen," in Zermatt.[7] In addition, after his World Cup career had ended he partnered with Authier Ski company on a line of signature skis.[8]
