Michael Kuhn, a renowned Austrian sports journalist, has passed away at the age of 88. He was known for his work as a commentator for football matches and ski races, particularly with the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF), where he worked from 1965 to 1993. Additionally, Kuhn was employed by the newspaper 'Kronen Zeitung' since 1959, contributing to the sports section until 2006, during which time he also served as head of the sports department and later as editor-in-chief. His wife, Helga Kuhn, was also associated with the same newspaper, though Michael reportedly did not read her horoscopes.

He authored several books and held leadership roles within the Austrian Sports Journalists Association, including president from 1997 to 2014. In 2019, he received recognition from the international sports journalism organization AIPS for his lifetime achievements.
