Timeline
In 2012, Koch was honored as part of the inaugural class of the Vermont Sports Hall of Fame.
Koch carried the American flag at the opening ceremonies of the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville.
Koch married and became the father of two daughters. In 1982 he lived in Putney Vermont on a remote plot of land. By that time he had taken his family to New Zealand and Australia, in search of "new frontiers". After his athletic career, he consulted in the construction of cross-country ski courses in Cable, Wisconsin and Labrador City, Newfoundland. He later lived in Hawaii for a period, where he found a way to skate-ski on wet sand. By 2006, he had returned to Putney.
In 1982 he was crowned the cross-country skiing overall World Cup champion. Koch earned a bronze medal in the 30 km event at the 1982 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, becoming the first non-European ever to medal in cross-country skiing at the World Championships. (Canada's Sara Renner would become the second when she earned a bronze medal in the individual sprint at the 2005 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Oberstdorf.) Koch also finished third overall in the 1983 World Cup. The freestyle skiing technique has been used in Biathlon competitions since 1985, has been mandatory in Nordic Combined since 1985, and has been part of all cross-country skiing competitions since 1982.
Stress caused by media pressure, along with asthma, plagued Koch after his early successes. Considered the top American sportsman at the 1980 Winter Olympics, he performed poorly and finished far out of contention in all of his races.
Koch won the silver medal in the 30 km event at the 1976 Winter Olympics, becoming the first American to win an Olympic medal in cross-country skiing, and the only one until 2018. Koch also finished sixth in the 15 km event at those same Winter Games. In 1981 Koch set the world record time of just under two hours for 30k on a pond in Marlboro, Vermont.
Koch was born in Brattleboro, Vermont to Fred and Nancy Koch. His father lived on investments from a major corporation. His parents divorced and in 1965, when his mother became remarried to the then president of Marlboro College, Koch lived with the new family. At the age of 12, Koch met noted cross-country skier, Bill Gray, who taught him how to train effectively. After the family's move to England, it became expeditious for Koch to attend the Putney School, where he could pursue his interest in cross-country skiing.
William Conrad "Bill" Koch (born June 7, 1955) is an American skier who competed at international level. A native of Brattleboro, Vermont, he is a graduate of the nearby Putney School in Putney. In 1974, he became the first American to win a medal in international competition, placing third in the European junior championships.
