Hereward - Herminator*

* - other downhill skiers may be available, but none as exciting. Hermann Maier ranks among the finest alpine ski racers in history, with four overall World Cup titles, two Olympic gold medals (both in 1998), and three World Chapmionship titles. His 54 World Cup race victories – 24 super-G, 15 downhills, 14 giant slaloms, and 1 combined – rank second on the men's all-time list behind Ingemar Stenmark's 86 victories. He is nicknamed the "Herminator".
