ANDREA ALESSI

The 1980s and 1990s were a time of fierce competition in the
Men’s overall, with many outstanding skiers. One of them, Andrea
Alessi, better known to his friends as Bubu, emerged as a true
champion during this time.

Bubu won his first medal at the age of 16 in 1983, qualified
for his first World Championships in 1985, and won a gold medal
in his strongest event, jumping, at the Singapore Worlds in 1993.
Along the way he won five additional World Championship medals,
including three silvers, two in overall and one in jumping, and
two bronzes, one in tricks and one in overall.

In the European Championships, Bubu amassed 26 medals.
Among these were 15 gold medals, six in overall and eight in
jumping.

Competing and earning high placements in eight World
Championships and numerous international events was an essential
contribution to the achievements of the Italian team over a
period of nearly two decades.

I am pleased to announce the induction into the
International Hall of Fame of Italy’s most successful overall
skier: Andrea ‘Bubu’ Alessi.
