Philipp Buhl (born 19 December 1989) is a German sailor who competes in the Olympic boat class ILCA 7 (formerly Laser Standard). He won the 2020 Laser World Championship.

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]

Philipp Buhl is part of the Bundeswehr Sports Promotion Group and lives in Kiel. He is known for his meticulousness.[8] and his willingness to support his teammates. He has also long served as a representative for athletes.[9]

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 and is coached by national coach Alexander Schlonski.[11] Buhl sees the greatest challenge in excelling in a discipline where no German had previously won a world title or Olympic medal.[12]
