Robert Laurence "Robbie" Hourmont (born 21 April 1969) is a British former alpine skier who competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada.[1] Born in Bristol, at the age of 7 in 1976 he moved with his family to Innsbruck, Austria to get more skiing experience.[2] In 1985, he became the youngest ever British Senior Slalom Champion, and later in 1990 was ranked amongst the world’s top 30.[3]
In November 1990, during a high-speed training session in Austria with the Norway national alpine ski team, his career as a professional alpine skier ended suddenly due to a training accident, causing severe knee damage. Despite his injury, he continued his work.[2] In 2016, Rob’s right knee finally gave in and had to be replaced with a full-titanium prosthesis. At this time, Rob discovered the ketogenic diet to which he adjusted his path immediately and soon after travelled to Bali, Indonesia to pursue his new lifestyle.
Hourmont works as a health consultant, author and blogger. In his blogs, he talks about nutrition, food, fitness, mental health and travel advice.[3]
