He could win the silver medal in the Alpine Combined in that 1964 Winter Olympics, but that medal did only count for the FIS Alpine Skiing World Championships.

He could win another downhill race on February 12, 1967, in the so-called "Alpen Cup" at Bad Gastein (a race outside of the World Cup).

In the World Cup he could gain his first points when he was placed 8th in the downhill at Wengen on January 14, 1967.

For he did win the high-class downhill races at Wengen (January 13, 1968) and at Kitzbühel (January 20th, 1968), the previous downhill races of the Olympic downhill race, he was a cofavorite but he couldn't show his performance at Chamrousse and had to be content with the disappointing ninth place.
