Alberto Tomba (born 19 December 1966 in San Lazzaro di Savena) is a former World Cup alpine ski racer from Italy. He was the dominant technical skier (slalom and giant slalom)
in the late 1980s and 1990s. At 6 ft tall and 90 kg, his powerful build
was a contrast to the lighter, more traditional technical skiers who
prioritised agility over muscle, however Tomba was able to take
advantage of the introduction of spring-loaded ski gates which replaced
the older, solid gates in the early 1980s by using his power to maintain
a faster, more direct line through courses.[1] Tomba won three Olympic gold medals, two World Championships, and nine World Cup season titles: four in slalom, four in giant slalom, and one overall title. He was popularly called Tomba la Bomba ("Tomba the Bomb").
Here are some old photos of him taken in a health club.
