Career

[edit]

Buhl was born in Immenstadt im Allgäu. He began his sailing career in 2001.[1]

With his historic world title in 2020, the first German title in the class and the first German title in an Olympic event in 20 years,[2] and three Olympic appearances, Philipp Buhl is Germany's most successful ILCA sailor.[3]

In 2024, Buhl finished fourth at the ILCA 7 World Championship in Adelaide,[4] securing his position among the world's best sailors. He also won silver at the Trofeo Princesa Sofía[5] and at Kiel Week,[6] and took bronze at the Semaine Olympique Française.[7]

He regards his 2020 Laser World Championship title in Melbourne as his greatest achievement.[10]

He is a member of the Segelclub Alpsee-Immenstadt and the Norddeutscher Regatta Verein. Buhl sees the greatest challenge in excelling in a discipline where no German had previously won a world title or Olympic medal.[11]
