Wendy Holdener

Wendy Holdener (born 12 May 1993) is a Swiss World Cup alpine ski racer who specialises in slalom and combined. She is a two-time World champion in combined and a five-time Olympic medalist, four individual with one gold medal in the team event at Pyeongchang in 2018. Four years later in 2022, she won a silver medal in the combined.

Career

Holdener made her World Cup debut in Sölden in October 2010, and attained her first podium in March 2013, a second place in slalom at Ofterschwang. In 2016, she gained her first two World Cup victories and won the crystal globe title in the combined discipline.

Holdener's first win in a World Cup slalom came in November 2022 at Killington, shared with Anna Swenn-Larsson, after thirty previous podiums in the discipline without a victory. Another win came two weeks later at Sestriere, Italy.

Holdener finished the season in seventh place overall in the 2023 season and second in Slalom.

In the 2025 World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, she won silver medals in team event and combined. That was the inaugural race of the team combined, where Holdener skied the slalom part, and Lara Gut-Behrami the downhill part. This was Holdener's 4th medal in the combined in the last 5 championships, and 6th out of 7 if Olympics are counted.
