Alexis Pinturault Career

A week before his 18th birthday, Pinturault made his World Cup debut in March 2009 in Åre, Sweden. His first podium came two years later in March 2011, a runner-up finish in giant slalom in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. That fall, he was also a runner-up at Sölden in October 2011, 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 October 2012, as he injured his ankle while playing tennis and had to pause for a three-month period. In December, he won his second World Cup race in slalom at Val-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's Felix Neureuther by half a second and future World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher, who led by 0.57 seconds after the first run. Pinturault's third win was at the super-combined in Wengen, Switzerland, where his superior slalom skills were key. After placing 22nd in the downhill portion, he finished 1.15 seconds ahead of Ivica 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 in 2013 but had four top-six finishes. A week later he claimed a fourth World Cup win, his first in giant slalom, at Garmisch, 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 2013 Longines Rising Star, as the top young racer (under 23) of the season.

Pinturault changed equipment after the 2014 season, from Salomon to Head.

Alexis Pinturault, a French skier, has been airlifted from the slopes following a horrific accident that saw him fall 50 meters for the first time, just six days after becoming a father for the first time

Alexis Pinturault, a French skier, crashed in a World Cup super-G race on Friday and was airlifted from the track just six days after becoming a father for the first time. Pinturault, the overall World Cup champion and a three-time Olympic medalist, was killed on landing the Silberhorn jump at Wengen's final section of the storied Lauberhorn course. He sat on his skis before hitting the icy snow. His skis fell as he crashed down the mountain, sliding about 50 meters before coming to a halt.

Alpine World Cup is slammed for 'stealing snow from a melting glacier' for its ski competition

Around two-thirds of the Alpine World Cup course are on the Theodul Glacier (top right), portions of which are not permitted. According to a Swiss daily, other sections of the ski resort are in fenced areas, where skiing is a no-goal. For example, major portions of the men's route cross areas have been designated as off-limits, while the start of the women's festival has been outside of the designated area. Environmental campaigners have chastised organisers for attempting to hold elections earlier in the season in order to please sponsors.
