Early years

Tomba la bomba was born to Marco and Maria Grazia Tomba in Castel de Britti, San Lazzaro di Savena, a hamlet not far from Bologna, in an area without mountaineer traditions.

Race to fame

On November 27, 1987, Tomba scored his first major victory in the World Cup in the Slalom. Two days later he won the Giant slalom, beating his idol, Ingemar Stenmark.

In that season he won 9 races, but finished second in the final rankings to Swiss Pirmin Zurbriggen. Tomba attempted to race in the Supergiant slalom, finishing an encouraging 5th place. In his two favourite races, the Slalom and the Giant Slalom, Tomba showed a very aggressive style of skiing.

In 1988, at the Winter Olympics, Tomba won gold medals in both Slalom and Giant Slalom. In his first run in the Giant slalom, he finished 1.14 second ahead of second place, setting a record. He also earned some notoriety by to asking out East German figure skater Katarina Witt.

Tomba was not as successful in the following two seasons.

Tomba returned to his best in the 1991-92 season, with 9 victories, 4 second places and two third places. He duelled to the very end with Paul Accola for the World Cup, but the Swiss eventually won the title. In the 1992 Olympics of Albertville Tomba won another gold medal (his last one) in the Giant Slalom, beating Marc Girardelli, and a silver medal in the Slalom, thanks to a spectacular second run.

Confirmation as Olympic Champion and World Cup

Tomba was back to his usual ways in the 1994 Olympics of Lillehammer. After the first run of the Slalom, he was 1.84s behind Thomas Stangassinger.

In 1995, after a triumphant season with 11 victories, Tomba brought the Skiing World Cup back to Italy, twenty years after Gustav Thöni's success (Tomba had won several World Cups in the years before, but only for single specialities).

After the 1996 World Championships, Tomba began contemplating retirement. He decided to come back for one more World Championship at Sestriere (1997). He was disqualified in the Giant Slalom and had a disappointing first manche in the Slalom, but an excellecnt second manche was good enough for his last medal, a bronze, much to the enthusiasm of his countrymen. Sestriere (French: Sestrières) is an alpine village in Italy, a [[comune of the Province of Turin, at 44°57′N 6°53′E, at 2035 m above sea-level, with 838 inhabitants (2003). ...

The 1998 Olympic Games in Nagano was a sign that Tomba's career was winding to a close, as he failed to medal. Tomba retired following the season, but not before became the second alpine skier (along with Ingemar Stenmark) to have won at least a race per year in 10 years, with a victory in the Slalom.
