The greatest technical skier of all time — 86 World Cup victories in slalom and giant slalom, a record that has stood for 40 years.
Ingemar Stenmark won 86 World Cup races — a record that stood for 35 years until Lindsey Vonn surpassed it. His technical mastery of slalom and giant slalom was absolute — he dominated both disciplines simultaneously for a decade. He won Olympic gold in both events at the 1980 Lake Placid Games and won the Overall World Cup title three times.
His 86 World Cup victories in slalom and giant slalom alone — in just two disciplines — makes him statistically the most dominant skier in the history of the sport.
