Gustav "Gustl" Berauer (5 November 1912 - 18 May 1986) was an ethnic German Czechoslovak nordic combined skier who competed in the 1930s. He was born in Petzer, Bohemia, Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is now known as Pec pod Sněžkou, Czech Republic. At the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Berauer finished 14th in the Nordic combined, 21st in the 18 km cross-country event and was part of the Czechoslovak team that finished 5th in the 4 x 10 km relay. His real strength lay in the Nordic combined. He won a gold medal in that individual event at the 1939 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Zakopane while competing for Nazi Germany in the wake of Czechoslovakia being annexed in late 1938. It was the first German world champion in Nordic skiing. At the World Championships in 1941 in Cortina d'Ampezzo, he was able to successfully defend his title. The World Championship, associated with the International Ski Federation (FIS), was officially cancelled in 1946. During World War II Berauer was a Sergeant in the Gebirgsjäger corps ((英語:mountain troops)). After the war he was incapable of returning to his sport due to a serious injury on the Eastern Front. From 1963 to 1975 he was the Chairman of the FIS Committee "Nordic combined". In 1986, Berauer died in Schliersee, Bavaria, Germany. == References == * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gustl Berauer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
