Frida Hansdotter (born December 13, 1985 in Västerås ) is a former Swedish ski racer . Her specialty was slalom , in which she was able to achieve numerous podium places, and she also drove giant slalom . Due to her many second places in the World Cup (eight before the first victory) and comparatively few victories, she was sometimes referred to as "the eternal second". In the 2015/16 season she won the Slalom World Cup, and in 2018 she was Olympic Slalom Champion.

biography

In January 2001 Hansdotter was used for the first time in FIS races , in December 2002 in the European Cup . In the 2004/2005 season she reached fifth place in the European Cup slalom ranking. She contested her first World Cup race on October 23, 2004 in Sölden . On November 11, 2006, she won her first World Cup points when she finished 13th in the Levi slalom . In the 2007/2008 season , two seventh places were her best World Cup results, achieved on December 9, 2007 in Aspen and January 6, 2008 in Špindlerův Mlýn .

During the 2008/2009 season , Hansdotter again showed consistently good performances. On March 7, 2009, the second in the World Cup slalom in Ofterschwang achieved the first podium of her career, but in winter 2009/2010 she did not make it into the top ten in any race. At the 2009 World Championships in Val-d'Isère and the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver , she was 15th in slalom. In the 2010/2011 season Hansdotter again achieved two top 10 results in the World Cup. In addition, she reached eighth place in the slalom of the 2011 World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . While she had concentrated exclusively on the World Cup in previous years, Hansdotter started again in the European Cup this winter . Behind Fanny Chmelar , she finished second in the slalom classification.

On February 11, 2012, Hansdotter achieved second place in the Soldeu slalom for the second time in her career and for the first time in almost three years a podium finish in the World Cup. With another three top 10 results, she was ninth in the Slalom World Cup in the 2011/2012 season, just like three years earlier. In the 2012/2013 season she was second four times in slalom races. At the 2013 World Championships in Schladming , she won the silver medal in the team competition and the bronze medal in the slalom. In the 2013/2014 season , Hansdotter first took second place in a World Cup slalom two more times. After a total of eight second places, Hansdotter celebrated her first World Cup victory on February 2, 2014 in Kranjska Gora . The second World Cup victory followed on January 13, 2015 at the night slalom in Flachau . At the 2015 World Championships in Beaver Creek , she won the slalom silver medal.

In the winter of 2015/16 , Hansdotter excelled in the slalom with an impressive consistency and benefited from the several weeks break of the slalom dominator Mikaela Shiffrin . Although she only managed one victory (on December 29, 2015 in Lienz ), there were also three second and third places. She was not eliminated in a single slalom race and was never classified worse than in 10th place. As a result, she secured the slalom discipline classification in the penultimate race. In the giant slalom she also achieved a significant increase, with six top 10 placements. At the 2017 World Championships in St. Moritz , Hansdotter won two bronze medals, in the team competition and in the slalom. A year later, she surprisingly won the gold medal in slalom at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang .

On March 17, 2019, Hansdotter ended her active career with the giant slalom at the 2018/19 World Cup finals in Soldeu . On her last trip, she wore traditional Swedish costumes and handed out cinnamon rolls to selected carers and officials.

Hansdotter is a second cousin of Prince Daniel , husband of the Swedish Crown Princess Victoria .
