Ted Ligety confirms he’ll ‘finish it off’ at 2022 Olympics
Ted Ligety, a two-time U.S. Olympic Alpine skiing champion, plans to race through the 2022 Beijing Winter Games, looking to break Bode Miller‘s record as the oldest U.S. Olympic Alpine skier in history.
Ligety detailed the plans for the rest of his career in interviews with NBC Sports and SkiRacing.com this spring.
“Two final years and finish it off at the Olympics,” Ligety told Mike Tirico on Lunch Talk Live.
Previously, the 35-year-old had not announced whether he would make a push for a fifth Winter Games. But since he’s planning to race the 2020-21 season, it makes sense to extend it to the Olympic year.
