Olympic and World Championship Success

At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, Henrik won a bronze medal in slalom. He was only 19 years old, making him the youngest male skier ever to win an Olympic medal in alpine skiing!

In 2019, Henrik won a gold medal at the World Championships in Sweden. He won in the giant slalom event, showing he's one of the best in the world. He also won another gold medal at the World Championships in 2023 for slalom.

Henrik is also the first skier to win all four classic slalom races (Adelboden, Wengen, Kitzbühel, and Schladming) in a single season. In the 2016 season, he was the first male racer in 24 years to win six World Cup slalom races in one season. This shows how dominant he was!
