Vincent Kriechmayr (born 1 October 1991) is an Austrian World Cup alpine ski racer and specializes in the speed events of super-G and downhill.
Kriechmayr is the 2021 world champion in both speed events, super-G and downhill.
Born in Linz, Upper Austria, Kriechmayr made his World Cup debut in December 2010 at age nineteen. He achieved his first World Cup podium in March 2015, a runner-up finish in super-G at Kvitfjell, Norway. He achieved his first World Cup victory in a super-G in December 2017 at Beaver Creek, Colorado.[1] His fourth World Cup victory came in the classic downhill at Wengen in 2019.[2]
At the World Championships in 2021 at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Kriechmayr won both the super-G and the downhill, becoming the third male to take the speed double at the Worlds, after Hermann Maier in 1999 and Bode Miller in 2005.[3] He won the super-G season title in 2021, 83 points ahead of runner-up Marco Odermatt; the super-G at the World Cup finals in Lenzerheide was cancelled due to fog.[4] In October 2021 Kriechmayr was named Austrian sportsman of the year for 2021.[5]
