Biography
Sepp Schiffner was an Austrian cross-country skier and Nordic combined participating in the 1952 and 1956 Winter Olympics. At Oslo he finished 69th over 18 km cross-country and 20th in the Nordic combined, improving to 11th at Cortina d’Ampezzo four years later.
Schiffner was Austrian Champion in the Nordic combined in 1953 and 1956, although he had moved in 1954 to Frankfurt am Main, Germany, due to professional reasons. He received German citizenship in 1956, became German Champion in 1957, and added four more podiums up to 1962.
