Carlo Janka (born 15 October 1986) is a Swiss formeralpine ski racer. Born inObersaxen, in thecanton ofGraubünden, he had the winter sports facilities right in front of his home.[1] Janka has won gold medals at both theWinter Olympics and theWorld Championships, as well as oneWorld Cup overall title, one discipline title and also, one unofficialalpine combined title.

In2013, Janka set a World Cup speed record in thedownhill part of thesuper combined event inWengen, Switzerland. He reached a maximum speed of 158.77 km/h (98.66 mph) on theHaneggschuss, the fastest section of the classicLauberhorn slope, on 18 January.[2]

Ski racing career

[edit]

Janka competed in his first internationalFIS race in December 2001 at age 15. Not until four years later did he reach the podium, but success came in all four disciplines. Janka began racing on theEuropa Cup circuit in January 2004. He earned his first twoWorld Cup starts in December 2005 but did not finish either race. At theJunior World Championships in2006 atMt. Ste. Anne, Quebec, Canada, he won the bronze medal ingiant slalom, and he finished the 2007 season in fourth place in the overall Europa Cup standings.

Janka scored his first World Cup points in the giant slalom atAlta Badia, Italy, on 17 December2006, finishing in 20th place. But his World Cup breakthrough began two years later, on 29 November 2008, when he came out of the 65th starting position to finish a surprising second place in thedownhill atLake Louise. Two weeks later, he gained his first World Cup victory in a giant slalom race atVal d'Isère, France, followed the next month by a victory in theLauberhorn super-combined inWengen. A month later, he won the gold medal in giant slalom and the bronze in downhill at the2009 World Championships in Val d'Isère.

On the weekend of 4–6 December,2009, Janka achieved a remarkable feat by winning the super-combined, downhill, and giant slalom on the challengingBirds of Prey course atBeaver Creek,Colorado. Janka was the first to win three World Cup races in a single weekend sinceHermann Maier at the same locationten years earlier. On 16 January 2010, Janka won the Lauberhorn downhill in Wengen, the longest and fastest race on the World Cup tour, a day after nearly repeating his 2009 win in the super-combined by narrowly placing second behindBode Miller.

On 23 February 2010, Janka won the gold medal in thegiant slalom at the2010 Vancouver Olympics atWhistler Creekside inWhistler, British Columbia, Canada.

At the World Cup finals inGarmisch, Germany, in March 2010, he became the fourth Swiss racer to win the World Cup overall title. He clinched the title by winning the downhill and giant slalom, which left his nearest opponent,Benjamin Raich, 106 points back with one race remaining, an insurmountable margin.

In October 2010, Janka was awarded the Skieur d'Or Award[3] by members of the International Association of Ski Journalists for his performances during the previous season, thereby becoming the first Swiss male skier to receive the honor since Pirmin Zurbriggen won it back in 1990.

Following the2011 World Championships, Janka had some health problems but recovered well and resumed training five days later,[4] winning the giant slalom atKranjska Gora, Slovenia, on 5 March for his sole victory of the2011 season.

Janka switched equipment following the2013–14 season, fromAtomic toRossignol.[5]
