Marco Büchel

Marco Büchel (born 4 November 1971 in Walenstadt, Switzerland) is a Liechtensteiner retired alpine ski racer.

On 18 January 2008, Büchel won a World Cup Super-G race at Kitzbühel, and set a then record as the oldest winner of a World Cup race at the age of 36 years, 75 days.

This has since been surpassed by Didier Cuche, who won a downhill race at the same location on 22 January 2011[1] to set a new record as the oldest winner of a World Cup race; the following 13 months Cuche extended this record 6 times, finally with his last career victory in the Super-G of Crans Montana on 24 February 2012 to 37 years, 192 days.
