Editing Johann Mühlegg (section)

==Early career==
Mühlegg participated for Germany in the [[1992 Winter Olympic Games|1992]], [[1994 Winter Olympic Games|1994]] and [[1998 Winter Olympics]], even though he began having trouble with Germany's ski federation in 1993. From the beginning, Mühlegg singled himself out, at one point accusing German head coach [[Georg Zipfel]] for "damaging him spiritually" (the so-called ''Spiritistenaffäre''). He was thrown off the team in 1995, but was reinstated later. But from that moment on, the ever eccentric Mühlegg insisted on taking a flask of [[holy water]] with him at all times, and trusting only his [[Portuguese people|Portuguese]] cleaning woman/chaperone Justina Agostinho. In the end, Mühlegg was branded as a team cancer and was thrown out.<ref name="FAZ">{{cite news|newspaper=[[Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung]] |url=https://www.faz.net/s/RubF3CE08B362D244869BE7984590CB6AC1/Doc~E2ABD871418CC44C98D17676C4E43B486~ATpl~Ecommon~Scontent.html |title=Johann Mühlegg: Skurril, schrullig, schräg |access-date=19 May 2006 |language=de |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110807081557/https://www.faz.net/artikel/C30000/portraet-johann-muehlegg-skurril-schrullig-schraeg-30051025.html |archive-date= 7 August 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
