About Didier Cuche

Didier Cuche is a former World Cup alpine ski racer from Switzerland. At the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, Cuche was the silver medalist in the super-G, where he had exactly the same time as Hans Knauss resulting in a rare sharing of the medal (no bronze medal was awarded). Cuche finished third overall and nearly won the super-G season title, finishing a single point behind champion Hannes Reichelt. At the 2009 World Championships in Val-d'Isère, France, Cuche won the super-G and was the silver medalist in the downhill. He won the World Cup downhill and super-G title for the 2011 season and has won three previous downhill titles in 2010, 2008 and 2007, along with a giant slalom title in 2009.
