Profile Roman Hagara & Hans Peter Steinacher


August 9th to 21st 2008, Beijing (China)

 

Roman Hagara and Hans Peter Steinacher have won everything a sailor can win: Austria´s most successful summer athletes are not only double Olympic champions at the Tornado class but also multiple world and European champions. This year, their main goal is the victory at the Olympic Summer Games in Beijing. But the path to success has become more difficult than ever: at the popular Tornado class, the serial winners now have to compete with a lot of world-class athletes. That´s why the duo pays great attention to a meticulous preparation leaving nothing to chance. After their Olympic gold medals at Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004, they have only one thing on their minds: gold at Beijing 2008!
