Histórico
Steven Lee is an Australian retired alpine ski racer. He was born on August 6, 1962 in Falls Creek, Australia. He started skiing at the age of three after his father bought an interest in a ski lodge at Falls Creek. By the time he reached his teens he was impressing Sigi Haberzettle, the trainer who helped shape Ross and Malcolm Milne. Lee raced internationally for the first time in the northern winter of 1977/1978 and later came under the guidance of a Swiss coach, Jan Tischhauser, engaged by the Australian Ski Federation to take over the Australian team. This led Steven into a prime spot on the Australian national ski team. Steven competed in the 1984 (finishing 19th), 1988 (finishing 22nd in the downhill and 35th in the giant slalom), and 1992 Winter Olympics (19th in the combined, 30th in the Super-G, and 36th in the giant slalom), and had a competitive career lasting 25 years. Lee won a World Cup race in Furano, Japan in 1985, becoming only the second Australian (after Milne) to record such a triumph. That year he also won the Canadian title, which he won again in the lead-up to the 1988 Calgary Olympics. Lee achieved his first major result on the World Cup circuit at Kitzbuehel, Austria, where he placed 10 in the 1983 Hahnenkamm Downhill event. From then on, he managed to score World Cup points 18 times in eight of the ten years he raced on the tour. Overall, he claimed twenty top-15 finishes in Downhill, Super-G and combined events. Towards the end of his career, he swapped the World Cup circuit for the World Pro Tour in the USA, winning the Pro Downhill Tour ‘King of the Mountain’ title. Steven has also done World Cup skiing and Olympic commentating for channels 7, 9, and 10, as well as commentating for the 2000 Australian Mountain Bike Championships. Previously a contributing writer for ski magazines, Steven now co-owns Chill Factor magazine and surfingworld.com.au, of which he is also editor. He is a national selector and president of the Falls Creek Race Club. He has worked as a stuntman (skiing and snowmobiling) in movies with Roger Moore and Jackie Chan, as well as for Willy Bogner's James Bond spoof Fire Ice & Dynamite. He was a feature skier for RAP Films movies Skiers Dream, Into the Snow Zone, Return to the Snow Zone. He currently lives in Falls Creek and spends his Australian summers running Hakuba Powder Detours in Hakuba, Japan (during the northern hemisphere's winter). He enjoys skiing, backcountry touring, and snowmobiling in his free time. In 2020, he suffered a stroke; he was hospitalized in a rehabilitation facility in Wangaratta, Australia, paralyzed on his left side.
