About Jean-Claude Killy

Jean-Claude Killy is a French former World Cup alpine ski racer. He was born on 30 August 1943 in Saint-Cloud, a suburb of Paris, and was brought up in Val-d'Isère in the Alps, where his family had relocated in 1945. His father Robert was a former Spitfire pilot for the Free French, opened a ski shop in the village and later operated a hotel.

Killy turned his attention to skiing rather than school. His father allowed him to drop out at age 15, and he made the French national junior team a year later. He dominated the sport in the late 1960s. He won the first two World Cup titles, in 1967 and 1968, and became a triple Olympic champion by winning the three alpine events at the 1968 Winter Olympics, making him the most successful athlete at those Games.

Killy has a listed height of 178 cm (5'10"). He grew up in Val-d'Isère with his older sister France and his younger brother Mic.
