Andrzej Bachleda-Curuś (born September 1, 1975 in Zakopane ) is a former Polish ski racer .
Bachleda-Curuś was born as the son of Polish skiing legend Andrzej Bachleda-Curuś . He learned to ski at the age of six from his father in the Tatra Mountains . He later received professional skiing lessons in France. As a teenager, he won several French junior championship titles. In 1994 he became a member of the Polish national ski team and followed in his father's footsteps in slalom.
However, he was never able to build on its successes. Bachleda-Curuś was three times Polish champion (1999 and 2000 in slalom, 1999 in giant slalom). He also took part in the Winter Olympics twice: 1998 in Nagano and 2002 in Salt Lake City . He celebrated the greatest success of his career in Nagano with 5th place in the combination. Four years later he was again tenth in the slalom.
In the spring of 2004, Bachleda-Curuś ended his career as an athlete and devoted himself to training as a musician.
