Jochen Behle
German cross-country skier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jochen Behle (born 7 July 1960 in Korbach, Hesse) is a former (West) German 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 km relay at Lillehammer in 1994 and his best individual finish of 11th in the 10 km event at those same games.[1]
Behle's best finish at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships was fifth in the 10 km event at Falun in 1993. His only World Cup victory was in a 50 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, the commentator couldn't find Behle and worriedly repeated this question.[2]
