Age is no barrier to skibob class! Gerfried Seeber from Salzburg is the evergreen of this sport and will be competing at the World Championships in Lenggries, Bavaria, from Thursday - at the proud age of 57, it will be his 33rd elite start. His credo: "The younger ones should see from me that something is still possible."

 

The man from Zell competed in his first world championships in 1983 and won his first medal with bronze in the super-G in Seefeld in 1990. Eight more were to follow in the top class. The last in 2019 at Nassfeld (RTL bronze) after a 16-year dry spell.
