Anton "Toni" Seelos (4 March 1911 – 1 June 2006) was an Austrian alpine skier and world champion.
In the 1930s, Seelos invented the parallel turn[1] and became a world champion in the slalom and alpine combination in 1933, and again in slalom and in combination in 1935.[2]
Seelos worked as professional ski instructor, and was therefore not allowed to participate in the
Emile Allais
.
The Toni-Seelos-Olympiaschanze in Seefeld in Tirol is named after him.
