Alberto Tomba is a former World Cup alpine ski racer from Italy. He was the dominant technical skier in the late 1980s and 1990s. At 182 cm and 90 kg, his powerful build was a contrast to the lighter, more traditional technical skiers who prioritised agility over muscle. Tomba was able to take advantage of the introduction of spring-loaded ski gates which replaced the older, solid gates in the early 1980s by using his power to maintain a faster, more direct line through courses. Tomba won three Olympic gold medals, two World Championships, and nine World Cup season titles: four in slalom, four in giant slalom, and one overall title. He was popularly called Tomba la Bomba.

Una precisazione. Ci sono i Bieler e i Bieller, i primi di Gressoney, i secondi della Val d'Ayas (Champoluc). C'è Franco, attore della Valanga, che da anni conduce il suo hotel Alpenrose a Gressoney la Trinitè, cugino primo di Wanda, velocista Azzurra, oggi nel consiglio comunale. Nessuna parentela invece con Tiziano Bieller (due "l"), bravissimo gigantista ma una carriera stroncata sul più bello per una gamba distrutta!
