Alexis Pinturault (Alexis Pinturaultⓘ) (born 20 March 1991 inMoûtiers) is a FrenchWorld Cupalpine ski racer andOlympic medalist.
With 34 World Cup victories, Pinturault is the most successful French skier in World Cup history. He represented France at sevenWorld Championships and threeWinter Olympics, with four bronze medals in the giant slalom. He was the overall World Cup champion in2021.
Pinturault is double combined world champion in 2019 and 2023, the world champion in the team event in 2017, and a two-time world junior champion in giant slalom in 2009 and 2011.[1]
Born inMoûtiers,Savoie, Pinturault grew up inAnnecy. His mother, Hege Wiig Pinturault, is fromBergen,Norway, and he spent many of his childhood summers in Norway at Hestnesøy, nearGrimstad. He hasdual citizenship.[2]
A week before his 18th birthday, Pinturault made his World Cup debut in March2009 inÅre, Sweden. His first podium came two years later in March2011, a runner-up finish in giant slalom inKranjska Gora, Slovenia. That fall, he was also a runner-up atSölden in October2011 and gained his first World Cup victory in February 2012, in the parallel slalom in Moscow, Russia.
Pinturault was unable to make the season start in Sölden in October2012, as he injured his ankle while playing tennis and had to pause for three months. In December, he won his second World Cup race in slalom atVal-d'Isère, where he thrilled the home fans with a brilliant second run under the floodlights to rise from sixth place. He convincingly beat Germany'sFelix Neureuther by half a second and future World Cup championMarcel Hirscher, who led by 0.57 seconds after the first run. Pinturault's third win was at the super-combined inWengen, Switzerland, where his superior slalom skills were key. After placing 22nd in the downhill portion, he finished 1.15 seconds ahead ofIvica Kostelić of Croatia. The training run for the downhill portion was his first time on downhill skis for months, as he missed pre-season speed training after surgery on his left ankle in August to repair ligaments damaged while playing tennis. Pinturault did not medal at the world championships in2013 but had four top-six finishes. A week later, he claimed a fourth World Cup win, his first in giant slalom, atGarmisch, Germany. Being second after the first run, Pinturault's total time was 0.60 seconds ahead of runner-up Hirscher. On 15 March, he was honored as the 2013Longines Rising Star, as the top young racer (under 23) of the season.
Pinturault changed equipment after the 2014 season, fromSalomon toHead.
Before the2023–24 season, Pinturault announced he will not compete in slalom anymore, giving focus to the speed disciplines.[3]
