The World Racing Academy is an elite Alpine Ski racing team founded by Daniel Fahrner in 2010. However, since 2018, Martin Fahrner has taken over as the main team leader with the assistance of Patrick Renner, while Daniel coaches the WRA Junior group.

We initially started the WRA project with athletes such as Urs Imboden (MDA), Christophe Roux (MDA), Stefan Kogler (GER), and Nicole Gius (ITA). Over the years, the WRA has gained increasing recognition, attracting strong athletes to join our team. Notable additions include Patrick Thaler, Riccardo Tonetti, Alex Hofer (all ITA), Lukas Wasmeier, Philipp Schmid, Dominik Stehle (all GER), Markus Vogel (SUI), Matej Falat (SVK), Kristaps Zvejnieks (LAT), Krystof Kryzl, and Filip Trejbal (both CZE).

Our primary objective is to improve the performance of every racer who becomes part of our team. We strive to help them reach their personal best level. To achieve this, we dedicate ourselves with utmost professionalism and exert 120% effort. Through a combination of hard work and enjoyment, we have already achieved considerable success. Several racers have secured Top-15 positions in World Cup races, numerous podium finishes in Europa Cup races, and Matej Falat even won a silver medal at the WSC in St. Moritz. With extensive experience in the skiing world, we understand what it takes to push athletes to their limits.

We believe that small nations no longer have a fair chance to compete at the World Cup or Europa Cup races due to the increasing costs associated with skiing. Quality training and programs require substantial financial investment. Our goal is to minimize costs without compromising the high level of training. The motto of our team is "together we are strong!" Additionally, we aim to assist small ski nations by fostering collaboration for better training opportunities and improved competition against World Cup athletes. This way, even nations like Iceland or Latvia have a chance to achieve excellent results in major events.

Our unwavering commitment drives us to give our all for our racers. Team spirit is a fundamental principle of our work, and every day we strive to make it the best day possible. We utilize state-of-the-art training materials and carefully selected locations, leveraging the knowledge gained from our extensive experience over the past years.
