'''Jochen Behle''' (born 7 July 1960 in [[Korbach]], [[Hesse]]) is a former ([[West Germany|West]]) [[Germany|German]] [[cross-country skiing (sport)|cross-country skier]] who competed from 1980 to 1998.

Competing in six [[Winter Olympics]], he earned his best career finish of fourth in the 4 × 10&nbsp;km relay at [[Lillehammer]] in [[1994 Winter Olympics|1994]] and his best individual finish of 11th in the 10&nbsp;km event at those same games.<ref name="SportsRef">{{cite Sports-Reference |url=https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/be/jochen-behle-1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200417081227/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/be/jochen-behle-1.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=17 April 2020 |title=Jochen Behle Olympic Results |accessdate=28 June 2019}}</ref>

Behle's best finish at the [[FIS Nordic World Ski Championships]] was fifth in the 10&nbsp;km event at [[Falun]] in [[FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1993|1993]]. His only World Cup victory was in a 50&nbsp;km event in [[Canada]] in 1989.

In West Germany, the phrase ''"Wo ist Behle?"'' ("Where is Behle?") became famous when during a TV broadcast of the 1980 Olympic Games in [[Lake Placid, New York|Lake Placid]], the commentator couldn't find Behle and worriedly repeated this question.<ref>[http://www.zeit.de/2006/07/Behle_07 Article] in "[[Die Zeit]]", 9 February 2006 {{in lang|de}}</ref>
