In Kitzbuehel, 40-year-old becomes oldest Alpine skier to make World Cup podium

Frenchman Johan Clarey became the first 40-year-old to make an Alpine skiing World Cup podium, taking second in the famed Hahnenkamm downhill in Kitzbuehel, Austria, on Sunday.

Clarey finished .17 of a second behind Swiss Beat Feuz, who won both downhills on the Streif this weekend. Austrian Matthias Mayer was third. Full results are here.

Clarey was already the oldest Alpine skier to make a World Cup downhill podium, doing so in 2019 and 2020. He’s also the oldest to earn a world championships medal, super-G silver in 2019.
