I find it difficult to compare skiers from different eras. The material has changed and evolved. Slope preparation is currently different and is also difficult to compare. There is no question that there have been many outstanding personalities who have inspired many people through skiing. They had a charisma that was not only defined by fame and success.

Very shocked five time overall WC champion Marc Giradelli did not make the list. Same with four time overall champ Pirmin Zurbriggen. In addition to being second and third, respectively, in number of overall World Cup titles, both were great all-around skiers, with wins in every Alpine discipline over the course of their careers (with the exception of Parallel, which was not run during their careers). None of the other Men who have won at least three World Cup titles have won in every event that was competed in their careers. Hirscher, in the lead with 8 titles, never won a downhill or combined event. Gustav Theoni, tied third with Zurbriggen, never won a downhill. Phil Mahre and Stenmark, both tied with three titles, never won downhills or super-G (super-G being added as an event right near the end of their careers).

Kudos, though for putting Lasse Kjus up there. He competed in all events in Vail 1999 and made it top two in every event. Had a lot of health problems ruining many seasons but had a ‘feeling’ that is hard to describe. (Both Kjus and Aamodt have no doubt Stenmark was the greatest ever, btw). I am to young to know about Killy and Thoeni.. Interesting discussion, though! I bet Odermatt will be remembered as one of the greats! Peace from Norway✌️

To create such a list, clear objective criteria are needed: time period that is counted, number of victories in the overall World Cup, number of overall victories in discipline World Cups, number of World Cup victories per discipline, number of World Cup and Olympic medals per discipline, outstanding performances in one discipline, outstanding performances overall in each discipline. This list should definitely include all World Cup riders who have won at least one race in ALL individual disciplines (downhill, super-G since 1985, giant slalom, slalom): Jean-Claude Killy (without super-G), Marc Girardelli, Pirmin Zurbriggen, Bode Miller, Kjetil André Aamodt and Günther Mader. In addition, all overall World Cup winners with at least 3 large crystal globes in their collection who have not won in all disciplines: Marcel Hirscher, Gustav Thöni, Hermann Maier, Ingemar Stenmark, Phil Maire and Marco Odermatt. In addition, you also have to take into account athletes on this list with outstanding performances in individual disciplines: e.g. Franz Klammer, Aksel Lund Svindal, Beat Feuz, Stefan Eberharter, Didier Cuche, Bode Miller, Lasse Kjus, Michael von Grünigen etc. We already have 12 athletes in the first two categories, and it is very difficult to find objective and fair criteria to remove 2 athletes from this list. One criterion could be: number of World Cup victories achieved in relation to the number of World Cup races held in the respective season. Günther Mader would probably be thrown out of the list, as he has not achieved more than 2 World Cup victories in any individual discipline - apart from the Super-G. Conclusion: I would like to help continue this discussion with objective criteria...

Girardelli won one more Cup because he was active longer, but Zurbriggen had the sheer class that left you in awe. Bode Miller is close, with Thoeni and very few others.

Stenmark was an easy choice as the top male skier, but I would have loved to see one or two of the real pioneers, like Stein Eriksen!

I know it´s difficult, but I think you forgot in your TopTen Didier Cuche, Karl Schranz, Toni Sailer.

You need to rank the women - skiers like Schriffrin and Vonn are two of the best ever.

Why? It is self explanatory. Women's alpine ski racing is a joke compared to men's like football.

@@speedkingzYes, if you count only since the beginning of the World Cup I mostly agree with you. I would finally replace Aamodt and Kjus by Girardelli and Zurbriggen. And looking at current races one could already include Odermatt, and then maybe leave out Miller. I agree with including Klammer, his series of downhill wins during three seasons reminds me of Stenmarks domination.

@@speedkingzI forgot Thöni, he would replace Miller in my list. And Odermatt is waiting - wouldn't be surprised if he wins another two Wengen races and Kitzbühel this season.

@glenngastonjonsson7954 3 ай бұрын

I would certainly put Zurbriggen and Girardelli on my top ten. The battle of dh vs slalom or gs will go on forever. The combined discipline never worked that out. Stenmark is totally ok as numero uno, Hirscher is my nr 2 and Maier no 3. But then again, we all know that Shiffrin is the boss.

@glenngastonjonsson7954 3 ай бұрын

As for norwegians on a top ten list, Aamodt is the one and only. So far. He was a fuckin beautiful skier to watch. Braathen will end up as one of the top ten, hopefully.
