Template:DMCA Robbie Hourmont (born 21 April 1969 in Bristol) is a British former alpine skier who competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada.[1]
At the age of 7 in 1976 he moved with his family to Innsbruck, Austria to get more skiing experience, and was later ranked amongst the world’s top 30 in 1990. He used to race together with Norwegian ski alpinists Atle Skårdal and Jan Einar Thorsen.
In November that same year during a high-speed training session in Austria with the Norway national alpine ski team, his career as a professional alpine skier ended suddenly due to a training accident, causing severe knee damage. Despite his injury, he continued his work.
His former girlfriend was Austrian alpine skier Ulrike Maier, who sadly died in a skiing accident in 1994.[2]
In 2016, Rob’s right knee finally gave in and had to be replaced with a full-titanium prosthesis. At this time, Rob discovered the ketogenic diet to which he adjusted his path immediately and soon after travelled to Bali, Indonesia to pursue his new lifestyle.
As of 2026, he lives in Pattaya, Thailand where he works as a health consultant, author and blogger. In his blogs, he talks about nutrition, food, fitness, mental health and travel advice.[3]
