Christof Innerhofer (born 17 December 1984) is an Italian World Cup alpine ski racer, the 2011 world champion in super-G. He competed in all five alpine disciplines and specializes in the speed events of downhill and super-G.

Biography

Born in Bruneck, Innerhofer lives in Gais, South Tyrol. He made his World Cup debut at age 21 in November 2006, and won his first race in December 2008, a downhill at Bormio.

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. 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.
