Davide Bendotti

Davide Bendotti (born 5 February 1994) is an Italian para-alpine skier. He is a three-time Paralympian.

Early life Bendotti was born on 5 February 1994 in Clusone, in the province of Bergamo in the Lombardy region of Italy. He later lived in the mountain village of Colere, where skiing is a common winter activity. In 2011, when he was seventeen years old, he was involved in a serious motorcycle accident that resulted in the amputation of his left leg above the knee.

After months of hospitalisation and rehabilitation, Bendotti returned to sport. He initially practiced swimming before turning to alpine skiing, inspired in part by former Italian paralympic skier Luca Carrara, who encouraged him to pursue the discipline competitively.

Career Bendotti made his international debut in 2015 and competes in multiple alpine skiing disciplines including downhill, slalom, giant slalom, Super-G and super combined. He has become a regular member of the Italian national para-alpine ski team and has won several Italian national titles during his career.

He competed at the 2018 Winter Paralympics in PyeongChang and the 2022 Winter Paralympics in Beijing. He competed at the 2026 Winter Paralympics and finished in fifth-place in the super combined standing event with a total time of 2:02.40.
