Jochen Behle

Jochen Behle is a former West German and later German cross-country skier, born on 7 July 1960 in Korbach in Hesse, who competed internationally from 1980 to 1998. He took part in six Winter Olympics. His best Olympic result was fourth place in the 4 x 10 km relay at Lillehammer in 1994, and his best individual finish at those same Games was eleventh in the 10 km event. At the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships his best placing was fifth in the 10 km at Falun in 1993, and his only World Cup victory came in a 50 km race in Canada. Behle also became a household name in West Germany through a television slip at the 1980 Olympics in Lake Placid, when a commentator who could not find him on screen kept asking where Behle was, a phrase that entered everyday German speech.
