Christof Innerhofer (born December 17, 1984) is a World Cup alpine ski racer from Italy, the 2011 world champion in super-G. He skis in all five alpine disciplines and specializes in the speed events of downhill and super-G.
Born in Bruneck, Innerhofer lives in Gais, South Tyrol. He made his World Cup debut in November 2006, and won his first race, a downhill, at Bormio on December 28, 2008.[1]
At the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, Innerhofer won a medal of each color: gold in super-G, silver in super combined, and bronze in downhill.[2][3][4] At the first World Cup race following the World Championships, Innerhofer won the super combined at Bansko, Bulgaria. The race was unusual in that the slalom portion was run first, in anticipation of fog; the afternoon speed run was a super G, rather than a downhill.[5]
