About

With his victory in the downhill in 2013, Svindal became the first male alpine racer to win titles in four consecutive world championships.

Svindal is sometimes considered the best Norwegian alpine skier ever. While Kjetil Andre Aamodt has been more successful at the Olympics, Svindal is by far the most successful on the World Cup circuit.

In January 2019, Svindal announced his retirement from alpine skiing following the 2019 Ski World Championships.
