Marco Büchel (born 4 November 1971 in Walenstadt, Switzerland) is a Liechtensteiner retired alpine ski racer. He participated in a record-tying six Winter Olympics, starting in 1992 and ending in 2010.
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 Template:Age in years and 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 Template:Age in years and days.[2]
Büchel is featured in the OL-floka music video for the 1994 Winter Olympics. He's seen climbing upwards in the combined slalom course, after missing a gate.[3]
Büchel retired following the Super-G race at Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany) on 11 March 2010. He celebrated his last race by racing not in the regular catsuit, but by wearing a tuxedo with black Bermuda shorts. As he skied down the course, Büchel slowed down many times to "high-five" various trainers.[4]
He had also appeared on The Amazing Race 18 as contestants had to give him the correct answer for calculating the Length of Liechtenstein.[5]
