In which sport was Franz Klammer a successful former competitor?

gosh I remember him! was it really that long ago!?

I saw that fantastic run down the slope on TV ...the whole time "on the edge". And what a personality!

I, along with others here, remember it so well cause it was SO fantastic, wild, and scary! He seemed to be totally out of control while FLYING down the mountain in a bright yellow ski suit.

He “only” won the world title five times?
