Said Housni (born 1949) is a Moroccan alpine ski racer who competed in the technical events of giant slalom and slalom at the 1968 Winter Olympics in France.[1] In the giant slalom, Housni finished in 83rd place, and did not advance out of the slalom qualifying round.
Earlier at those Olympics, eighteen-year-old American Karen Budge was testing her wax on a practice course an hour before the women's downhill at Chamrousse, and narrowly avoided a full collision with Housni, who had been warned once before to stay off the hill. She fell, suffered a dislocated shoulder, and did not start.[2] [3]
