Kjetil Jansrud (born August 28, 1985 in Stavanger ) is a Norwegian ski racer . His greatest successes so far are winning the downhill and super-G discipline rankings in the 2014/15 season , the gold medal in super-G at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and the world title in downhill from Åre in 2019 four more Olympic medals. In addition, the overall ranking in the European Cup decided in the 2004/05 season for itself.

biography

Jansrud competed in his first FIS races in December 2000 and took part in competitions in the European Cup for the first time a year later . From the 2002/03 season Jansrud started regularly in the European Cup. At the end of November he got his first points with 25th place in the first slalom in Levi and the next day he already reached ninth place in the second slalom. In the following year and a half, however, he was only two more times in the top ten, until he achieved his first podium on March 5, 2004 in the slalom in Pas de la Casa . The final breakthrough in the European Cup came in the 2004/05 season . Jansrud won two slaloms and two giant slaloms, achieved six more podiums and a total of 19 top 10 placements. With that he won the slalom and giant slalom rankings and the overall rankings, tied with the Austrian Hannes Reichelt .

From 2002 to 2005 Jansrud took part in four Junior World Championships . In 2003 he just missed a medal in fourth place in the combined ranking , in 2004 he won second place in the giant slalom for the first time in precious metal and in 2005 he won another silver medal in the combined category.

World Cup debut in January 2003

Jansrud made his first appearance in the World Cup on January 19, 2003 in the Wengen slalom . Since the 2003/04 season he has competed regularly in the World Cup. However, this winter he only made it into the second round in the Flachau giant slalom , where he won his first World Cup points in 29th place. In the 2004/05 season he was able to score four times and finished 19th in the giant slalom in Alta Badia for the first time among the top 20. In February 2005 he was also used in the slalom world championship in Bormio , but failed in the first round .

After his successes in the European Cup in the 2004/05 season, the Norwegian managed to catch up with the extended top in the World Cup next winter. At the beginning of December he reached fourth place in the Beaver Creek slalom and in January he was again among the top ten in the Adelboden slalom and the Wengen Super Combined. At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin , he was tenth in the combination as the best Norwegian.

After Jansrud had to take a break for the entire 2006/07 season due to injury, a 20th place in the slalom in Bad Kleinkirchheim was his best World Cup result in the winter of 2007/08 . In the next winter the Norwegian finally made it to the top of the world. At the start of the season he came back to eleventh place in the giant slalom in Sölden , in December he reached fourth place in the giant slalom in Beaver Creek and on February 10, 2009 he was third in the giant slalom in Adelboden for the first time on the podium. With another top 10 place he reached ninth place in the Giant Slalom World Cup at the end of the season. In the slalom, after a few failures, he remained without World Cup points, but was able to score in the Super-G for the first time. He also suffered several failures at the 2009 World Cup in Val-d'Isère . In both the slalom and the giant slalom he was eliminated in the first round and in the Super-G he did not reach the finish line. His only result was ninth place in the combination.

First Olympic medal in 2010

At the beginning of the 2009/10 World Cup season , Jansrud achieved two top 10 placements in the giant slaloms of Sölden and Beaver Creek. In addition, he scored World Cup points for the first time in the downhill on the challenging Birds of Prey slope in Beaver Creek. On January 30th, 2010 he achieved his best World Cup result with second place in the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, after finishing third in the first giant slalom there the day before. Jansrud was able to confirm this result at the 2010 Winter Olympics , where he won the silver medal in giant slalom behind Carlo Janka . In the Giant Slalom World Cup, the Norwegian was able to improve to seventh place, and in the overall World Cup he was among the top 20 for the first time. In the 2010/11 season , Jansrud was able to improve further. With two second places in the giant slalom in Hinterstoder and Beaver Creek, he reached fourth place in the discipline world cup. He also came third in the combined World Cup. In the overall World Cup he improved by four places to 13th. At the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , Jansrud was fifth in the giant slalom and tenth in the super combination, while he was eliminated in the slalom and super-G. In 2010 and 2011 he was Norwegian champion three times , twice in giant slalom and once in super-G.

In the 2011/12 World Cup winter , Jansrud improved significantly in the fast downhill and super-G disciplines. He showed consistent performance and was classified ten times in the top ten by the end of February (including two third places). At the beginning of March, he again made it onto the podium twice in the first Super-G and in the downhill from Kvitfjell, where he only had to admit defeat by three and two hundredths of a second, respectively. On March 4, 2012 he finally achieved his first World Cup victory when he won the second Super-G from Kvitfjell. In the Super G World Cup ranking he reached fourth place this winter. At the beginning of the 2012/13 season , Jansrud achieved another podium finish in the downhill from Beaver Creek. At the 2013 World Cup he was eliminated in the Super-G; a little later it turned out that he had suffered a cruciate ligament rupture . Thus the season ended prematurely for him.

World Cup comeback and Olympic gold

He made his comeback in the World Cup at the end of November 2013 in Lake Louise . He was able to build on his earlier achievements immediately and in mid-December 2013 achieved second place in the downhill from Val Gardena, the first podium after his injury. At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi , after winning the bronze medal in the downhill, he became Olympic champion in the Super-G on February 16, 2014 . At the end of the year he was honored for these successes with the Aftenposten gold medal and the Fearnleys olympiske ærespris .

2nd place in the overall World Cup and "double" in the speed disciplines 2014/15

Jansrud got off to a strong start in the 2014/15 World Cup season : in November he won the Downhill and the Super-G from Lake Louise, in December the Downhill from Beaver Creek and the Super-G from Val Gardena and had an exciting time with the Austrian Marcel Hirscher Duel for the lead in the overall World Cup, which changed several times. In January he won the downhill run from Kitzbühel, but at the World Ski Championships in Vail / Beaver Creek he was unable to win any medals in the speed disciplines: 4th place in the Super-G (he awarded a possible medal in the upper part of the track when he threaded his hand at a goal and prevented a fall; ultimately he missed bronze by 0.03 s), followed by 15th place in the downhill. Only in the next descent, which only counted for the alpine combination, did he set the fastest time and thus lay the foundation for his silver medal in the combination. Similar to Tina Maze at the 2013 World Cup , he won “the wrong descent” - the one that did not bring a gold medal. In the first two World Cup descents after the World Cup, he reached positions 14 and 19, which he himself judged to be a major setback in the battle for the large crystal ball. On March 8, 2015, however, he won the Super-G from Kvitfjell and thus won the discipline ranking early. He also came a little closer to Marcel Hirscher in the overall World Cup.

At the World Cup final in Méribel , Jansrud won the downhill and thus secured the downhill ball ahead of Hannes Reichelt . In the Super-G he finished second, but since his competitor Hirscher reached fourth place, he could not overtake it. In the last giant slalom of the season, Jansrud was eleventh and Hirscher fourth, making Jansrud 60 points behind before the final slalom. Jansrud decided not to start in the slalom, with which Hirscher won the overall World Cup and the Norwegian took second place. At the end of winter, Jansrud became Norwegian champion in downhill and super G in Hemsedal.

Other seasons

In the 2015/16 season he achieved four wins, surprisingly the one in the parallel giant slalom in Alta Badia , which is part of the World Cup program for the first time, and one in the super combined for the first time. There were also three second and one third place and eight other top ten places. He couldn't win a World Cup ball, however; while he finished second behind his compatriot Aleksander Aamodt Kilde in the Super-G classification , it was only fourth in both the downhill and overall World Cups.

The 2016/17 season was very successful for Jansrud: On December 2 and 3, 2016, he won a Super-G and a Downhill in Val-d'Isère . Both on December 16, 2016 in Val Gardena and on December 27 in Santa Caterina , he was again successful in a Super-G (in the latter case it was the one from Lake Louise).

At the 2017 World Championships in St. Moritz (Switzerland), where he started with a bad cold, he won the silver medal in the Super-G on February 8th . In the downhill run on February 12th he missed the bronze medal by 2 hundredths of a second with fourth place (held together with Patrick Küng ). In the super combination on February 13th, after the morning's downhill run, he was 0.68 seconds behind race winner Romed Baumann . Because of the continued cold, he not only had to start the second part of the race, the slalom, but also refrain from further participation in the World Cup.

Thanks to his three victories in December, 7th place in Kvitfjell was enough for him on February 26th to secure the Super G World Cup (and thus also the sixth in a row for Norway). In terms of the Downhill World Cup, he did travel to the final with a 32-point lead over Peter Fill , but since his competitor came in second there on March 15, but Jansrud was only eleventh in the end, he was second in the final score. In the overall World Cup he was - as two years before - second.

In the 2017/18 season , thanks to his second victories in Lake Louise and Kvitfjell and second places in Beaver Creek and Kitzbühel, he won the super-G discipline. In the downhill he came second in Val Gardena and third in Bormio . At the Olympic Games in Pyeongchang , he won the silver medal in the downhill and the bronze medal in the Super-G. He opened the 2018/19 season with a victory in the Super-G in Lake Louise and a third place in the Super-G in Val Gardena. In February, Jansrud was two hundredths of a second ahead of team-mate Aksel Lund Svindal and won the Downhill World Champion in Åre . After two world championship silver medals, he won his first world title in his career.
