Interestingly, in addition to skiing, Johannes Stroortz is a mountaineering, cycling and football enthusiast.

Johannes Stroortz, whose father was Hulbert Stroortz, won a silver medal in the men's giant slalom at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. When his father retired, little Stroortz was still very young. "I started skiing when I was 2 years old. At that time, I was a small child, I didn't know much about the sport, I just thought it was fun. He said so.
In September 2021, Johannes Stroortz won his first World Cup, but it also reflects his recent good competitive form. He said: "Life can only be lived once, so you have to spend every day seriously." Of course, Johannes Stroortz said he also had to do a good job as a police officer. It is estimated that he is the fastest skiing officer on the snowy mountains of Austria.
