Kjetil Jansrud

Kjetil Jansrud secured an Olympic Silver medal in Giant Slalom at the Vancouver 2010 Games, marking a significant early career achievement after his Olympic debut at the Turin 2006 Winter Games where he finished 10th in the combined discipline. His talent for speed events was evident from a young age, earning him a silver medal in giant slalom at the 2004 Junior World Championships in Maribor. Jansrud achieved his first World Cup podium appearance in January 2009 at Adelboden, culminating in his inaugural World Cup victory in Super-G at Kvitfjell in 2012. He would go on to claim six additional victories across downhill and super-G disciplines at this pivotal venue throughout his illustrious career.

He clinched the World Cup Super-G title in 2015 and the World Cup Downhill title that same year. The 2016-2017 season saw him capture another Super-G World Cup title and a silver medal in Super-G at the FIS World Championships in St Moritz. Jansrud continued his formidable performance by securing his third World Cup Super-G title in 2018, shortly before adding two more Olympic medals to his haul at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics: a silver in Downhill, narrowly behind Aksel Lund Svindal, and a bronze in Super-G. His illustrious competitive career culminated in a World Championship Gold medal in Downhill at Åre, Sweden, in 2019.

Over his career, Kjetil Jansrud amassed an unparalleled record including five Olympic medals and two World Championship golds. He concluded his highly decorated competitive skiing career in March 2022 at Kvitfjell, the very course where he achieved his first World Cup victory. Beyond the slopes, Jansrud has transitioned into media, serving as the compelling host of the Norwegian television reality show ‘Alt for Norge.’
