About Henrik Kristoffersen

Norwegian World Cup alpine ski racer from Raelingen, one of the most successful technical skiers in history: 34 World Cup wins (26 slalom, 8 GS) and 102 podiums across a career that began with his World Cup debut in March 2012. Became the youngest male Olympic alpine medalist ever with slalom bronze at Sochi 2014 (age 19). In Jan 2016 he became the first skier to win the Adelboden-Wengen-Kitzbuehel slalom treble in one season, then swept a fourth classic (Schladming) two days later. World Champion in giant slalom at Åre 2019. Holds 5 World Cup discipline titles (slalom 2016, 2020, 2022, 2025; GS 2020). At the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics he won bronze in both giant slalom and slalom, taking his Olympic medal tally to 3 (all bronze, still no gold across 4 Games).

Career World Cup record through 2025-26: 34 wins (26 SL, 8 GS), 102 podiums (62 SL, 38 GS, 2 PG); runner-up in the overall standings three times (2016, 2018, 2025) but has never won the overall Crystal Globe. 7 World Championship medals (2013-2025) including 2 golds.
