Hermann Maier : The Race of My Life

Hermann Maier : The Race of My Life

Editorial Reviews
Peter Graves, Olympic and World Cup Announcer
"A gutsy, honest, straightforward read about one of the best skiers of all time . . . Destined to be a skiing classic."

Book Description
Hermann “The Herminator” Maier, born in 1972, rose from humble beginnings as a scrawny mason to the heights of sports stardom, skiing to four world championship titles and two gold medals, in super-G and giant slalom. All that changed in 2001, when a motorcycle accident threatened to end not only his career but his life. True to his reputation, Maier fought his way back to the slopes and further victories. This compelling autobiography tells a riveting story of flirting with death and dodging it through sheer willpower, of painful recoveries and worldwide triumphs. The dramatic text and many color and black-and-white photographs cover Maier’s highs and lows, including his appearance at the 1998 Olympic Games at Nagano, where he stunned millions in what has become the most notorious downhill crash of all time. This book profiles a man who is a superstar in every sense.
