Magnus Walch
“ Seeing how much fun and what a good team spirit the Global Racing Team had in the last years, it made my decision easy to become part of this team. I am sure I will achieve my goals together with Paul and the Team. Looking forward to a great season.”
Born: 6/15/1992
Nationality: Austrian
Hometown: Lech-Zürs-Arlberg
Background: Living in one of Austria's best ski resorts it was a matter of fact that Magnus started skiing in his early days. The coaches of the Ski Club Arlberg took him skiing on and off-piste a lot and have a large part in his skiing technique you see today. While attending the Ski-Tourism-College in Bad Hofgastein, Magnus became member of the Austrian Ski Team in 2011. In 2017 Magnus sustained a shoulder injury which led to a less than satisfactory season and after 6 years with the Austrian National Team he was let go and became part of the Global Racing Team.
