Timeline
From 1948 through 1980, the Winter Olympics were also the World Championships for alpine skiing.
At the World Championships from 1954 through 1980, the combined was a "paper race" using the results of the three events (DH, GS, SL).
Jan Ingemar Stenmark (born 18 March 1956) is a Swedish former World Cup alpine ski racer.
He is regarded as one of the most prominent Swedish athletes ever, and as the greatest slalom and giant slalom specialist of all time.
He competed for Tärna IK Fjällvinden.
Born in Joesjö, Storuman Municipality, Lapland, Stenmark's family moved to Tärnaby near Norway when he was four years old.
He became a childhood neighbour of Stig Strand (also born 1956), who tied Stenmark for the World Cup slalom title in 1983.
Stenmark began skiing at the age of five and won his first national competition at age eight.
Stenmark made his World Cup debut in December 1973 at age 17.
At the time of his retirement, he had won more international races than any other alpine skier to date: he took 86 World Cup wins (46 giant slaloms and 40 slaloms).
Stenmark also earned the Svenska Dagbladet Gold Medal twice (1975, 1978).
For his three straight World Cup titles (1976–78), Stenmark earned the Holmenkollen medal in 1979 (shared with Erik Håker and Raisa Smetanina).
During the years from 1976 to 1978 Stenmark, along with tennis player Björn Borg, became a national icon in Sweden.
His 1978 medal was shared with tennis player Björn Borg, making them the only two men to ever win the honor twice (female alpine skier Anja Pärson received the medal in 2006 and 2007).
At the World Championships in 1978 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen West Germany, Stenmark won the slalom by two-thirds of a second and the giant slalom by over two seconds, and successfully defended both world titles at the Winter Olympics in 1980 at Lake Placid, which also were counted as world championships.
Stenmark still has the record for the biggest win margin in a World Cup alpine race: 4.06 seconds ahead of 2nd placed Bojan Križaj in Jasna on 4 February 1979.
Stenmark was known as a quiet champion, with short, but polite, responses to media questions.
Hanni Wenzel of Liechtenstein was also banned; both were double gold medalists in 1980.
This was not changed by the fact that he moved to Monaco in 1980 for tax reasons.
Stenmark won only in the two technical disciplines: slalom and giant slalom (the other events are downhill, super-G, first run in December 1982, and combined).
He rarely competed in the other disciplines, as he was not comfortable with speeds in excess of 120 km/h.
At the next worlds in 1982 in Austria, he had a sub-standard first run in the giant slalom and was upset by American Steve Mahre and settled for silver.
Stenmark rebounded in the slalom and became the first to win the same title in three consecutive world championships.
At age 25, it was his final medal in a major competition.
Marc Girardelli, who was the best slalom racer during the 1983–84 season, wasn't allowed to participate either.
In his case it was because he didn't have citizenship in Luxembourg, the country for which he competed.
Stenmark was not allowed to participate in the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo by the International Ski Federation (FIS) for accepting promotional payments directly, rather than through the national ski federation.
Stenmark was married to Ann Uvhagen, a Lufthansa airline hostess, 1984–1987.
They have a daughter, born 1984.
86 wins – (46 GS, 40 SL), 155 podiums
Stenmark was allowed back into the Olympic competition in 1988, but was past his prime and did not win a medal (however, he had the fastest second run of the slalom competition).
He retired from World Cup competition at the end of the 1989 season in March, days before his 33rd birthday.
At age 40, he won the Swedish Superstars championship in 1996.
On 26 December 2004, Stenmark survived the Indian Ocean earthquake while on vacation in Thailand.
In 2015, he was a celebrity dancer on the Let's Dance 2015, where he teamed up with professional dancer Cecilia Ehrling.
