Lara Gut-Behrami is a Swiss alpine ski racer from Ticino who competed in all disciplines and specialised in the speed events, downhill and Super-G. She won the Olympic gold medal in the Super-G at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, after taking an Olympic bronze medal in the downhill at the 2014 Games in Sochi, and she also became a world champion at the 2021 World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Across her World Cup career she collected 48 victories in three disciplines and six Super-G season titles, an overall record, which makes her the most successful skier in that event. She began racing internationally as a teenager, made her World Cup debut at 16 and won her first World Cup race at 17, the youngest woman to win a World Cup Super-G. A serious hip injury kept her out of the 2010 Olympics. In August 2026 she announced her retirement from racing after a knee injury.
