Competing in six Winter Olympics, he earned his best career finish of fourth in the: 4 Γ 10 km relay at Lillehammer in 1994 and his best individual finish of 11th in theββ10 km event at those same games.
Behle's best finish at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships was fifth in the 10 km event at Falun in 1993. His only World Cup victory was in a 50 km event in Canada in 1989.
