Ted Ligety
He has won multiple Olympic Gold Medals
Ligety's success extended beyond the Olympics, as he became a five-time World Cup champion in giant slalom, winning titles in 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013, and 2014. His dominance in the giant slalom was further solidified when he won the gold medal in the event at the 2011 World Championships. In 2013, Ligety made history by defending his world title in giant slalom and also winning gold in the super-G and super combined events at the World Championships in Schladming, Austria. These victories showcased his versatility and ability to compete at the highest level across multiple disciplines.
Throughout his career, Ligety accumulated 25 World Cup victories, with 24 of those coming in giant slalom and one in the super combined. He also achieved 52 podium finishes in World Cup competition, further cementing his status as one of the sport's elite athletes. His Olympic gold medals, World Cup titles, and World Championship victories place him among the top three greatest giant slalom skiers of all time, according to Ski-DB. Ligety's technical skill, work ethic, and dedication to the sport have earned him widespread respect and admiration from fans and fellow competitors alike.
In early February 2021, Ligety announced his retirement from competitive skiing after withdrawing from the 2021 World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo due to injury. His decision marked the end of an illustrious career that spanned over a decade and a half. Beyond his achievements on the slopes, Ligety is also an entrepreneur, having co-founded Shred Optics, a company specializing in high-performance eyewear and protective gear for athletes. His contributions to both the sport and the business world have made him a well-rounded figure in the skiing community.
