Daniel Yule

Daniel Yule (born 18 February 1993) is a Swiss World Cup alpine ski racer and specializes in slalom. Born in Martigny, Valais, he is of Scottish parentage. Twelfth after the first run, Yule was disqualified in the second. After the Olympics, Yule went to his first Junior World Championships, where he earned a Bronze Medal in the slalom.

2015 The 2015 season was to be the first which Yule concentrated on the World Cup, although Yule did claim back-to-back victories in the two European Cup slaloms in Chamonix. He was able to find consistency in his skiing at the World Cup level, achieving points in 7 of the first 8 races of the season. Yule finished tenth three times; in Levi, Zagreb, and Schladming. and with those results, he fulfilled the selection criteria for the World Championships. His run in the slalom at the Championships ended very quickly, as he skied out of the course after only three gates. Yule's season results were enough to qualify for the World Cup Finals for the first time, and he finished the slalom tour in 16th as highest ranked Swiss in the discipline.

2016 Yule began the year promisingly with a ninth place in the first slalom of the season in Val-d'Isère after the season opener in Levi was cancelled.

2018 During the 2018 season, Yule took his first World Cup podium finishes, taking third at both Kitzbühel and Schladming.

2019 Yule started his 2019 season with a fifth place in Levi and a sixth in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. He earned his first win on the World Cup circuit in the Madonna di Campiglio night slalom after finishing fourth in the first run. He benefited from both Marcel Hirscher and Henrik Kristoffersen straddling. Yule's victory was the first World Cup slalom win for a Swiss male skier since Marc Gini's first place in Reiteralm in November 2007. Yule's accomplishment marked a significant milestone, surpassing the prior achievement of Lucas Braathen, who had managed to secure victory in the Wengen slalom event in 2022 after beginning the race from the 29th position following the initial run.
