HEAD Worldcup Rebels have made a significant signing: Henrik Kristoffersen, a two-time World Champion and 34-time Alpine Ski World Cup race winner (26 in the Slalom, eight in the Giant Slalom), is now part of the HEAD team. The 31-year-old Norwegian skier, who has claimed the Alpine Ski World Cup Slalom Crystal Globe four times (2024-2025, 2021-2022, 2019-2020, and 2015-2016), and once the Giant Slalom Crystal Globe (2019-2020), secured a Bronze medal in the Slalom at the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games.

Kristoffersen was bronze in the Slalom at the Olympic Games in Sochi 2014; Silver in the Giant Slalom at the Olympic Games in PyeongChang 2018; Bronze in the Slalom at the World Championships in Cortina d’Ampezzo 2021; World Champion in the Slalom at Courchevel-Méribel 2023; and World Champion in the Giant Slalom at Are 2019.

Last season, Henrik Kristoffersen won the Night Slalom in Schladming in a thrilling finale in front of 22,500 fans packed into the Planai Stadium and claimed his only triumph of the season. It was his fifth win in Schladming (2014, 2016, 2017, 2020, and 2026), making him the skier with the most victories at this Classical venue of the Alpine Ski World Cup.

"Henrik Kristoffersen is one of the most outstanding athletes of the last ten years. He has won so many victories in both the Slalom and Giant Slalom. I am very proud that he has now chosen to join HEAD; an athlete of his standing will do well in our strong team," HEAD Racing Director Rainer Salzgeber said.

"Atle Lie McGrath is in our team as the current overall champion of the World Cup in Slalom. So, we know what Henrik Kristoffersen expects from us and the faith he is putting in our equipment. He is an athlete with tremendous skill and motivation. The goals he has set for himself were not achievable recently in the way he imagined. We want to give him the best possible support in our team," he added.

"I’m proud to join the Head Rebels team. A team with a strong history of success, and I’m excited to be part of what’s ahead. Feeling welcomed from day one and ready to get to work. I’ve always had a bit of a rebel mindset, so being part of the Worldcup Rebels suits me perfectly," Kristoffersen said.
