Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is a leading World Cup alpine ski racer, specializing in super-G and downhill events, with a remarkable record of Olympic medals and overall World Cup titles. After securing the junior world champion title in giant slalom at Mont-Sainte-Anne in 2013, Aleksander Aamodt Kilde went on to claim the European Cup overall title that same season. Kilde, who began his professional skiing career with the Lommedalens IL sports club, made his World Cup debut in October 2012. His early success also included a second-place finish in the Super-G at the Norwegian national championships, signaling his rapid ascent in the sport.
Kilde continued his strong career progression, representing Norway at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics where he placed 13th in the super-G. He achieved his first World Cup podium in December 2015 with a third-place finish in super-G at Val Gardena, further solidifying his presence. In 2016, Kilde earned his first Super-G globe. A pivotal moment arrived in the 201920 World Cup season when he secured the prestigious overall title.
Demonstrating his elite performance across disciplines, Kilde also secured two silver medals at the 2023 World Championships, one in downhill and another in Super-G. Aleksander Aamodt Kilde is currently in recovery following a serious injury sustained in January 2024 during a downhill race in Wengen, Switzerland, which involved a severe cut, nerve damage, and torn ligaments, leading to him missing the remainder of the season. His commitment to high-level competition is underscored by his planned shoulder surgery in February 2025, as he targets a full return to the World Cup circuit.
