A legend turns 70: In the big birthday interview with Conny Bischofberger, Franz Klemm, the most successful downhill skier in the world and Olympic champion in 1976, talks about the ups and downs of his career, rivals and friends, his great role model and the secret of his marriage.
It is a real interview marathon that Franz Klemm has completed over the past two weeks. “Everyone wants to know if I want to be 70,” he laughs during our meeting in the Hietzinger Café “Dommayer”, “but do you have a choice?” The “Kurier” came before us, and after us will come the federal government gazettes. He was just able to avoid television interviews. “Our Olympic champion”, as the head waiter proudly introduces him to a new service employee, endures the crowds with patience, but also with a certain amazement. During the question-and-answer game, the grooves on Klemm’s forehead move to the rhythm of his Carinthian-tinged speech melody: slowly and steadily.
“Kron”: Happy birthday, Mr. Klemm. How does 70 sound to you?
Franz bracket: Thank you. Sometimes, when I perk up, I think to myself: 70? That’s not me at all. I actually feel much younger.
