Ilka Štuhec (born 26 October 1990) is a Slovenian World Cup alpine ski racer, focusing on the speed events of downhill and super-G. She was a three-time junior world champion in three different disciplines, and was the world champion in downhill in 2017 and 2019.

Career

At the Junior World Championships in 2007, Štuhec won two gold medals (slalom and combined) in Flachau, Austria.[1] The following year she won another gold, in the downhill in Formigal, Spain.[2] She made her World Cup debut at age 16 in March 2007 in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.

Štuhec gained her first World Cup victories in December 2016, back-to-back wins in the downhl in Canada at Lake Louise.[3] She had consecutive wins two weeks later in Val d'Isère, France,[4] and won her fifth event of the 2017 season in late January in Italy.[5] At the World Championships at St. Moritz, she won the gold medal in downhill in mid-February,[6][7] and clinched the World Cup season title in combined two weeks later.[8] At the finals in mid-March she secured another title in downhill,[9] and was the runner-up for the season in super-G and overall.

In October 2017, an injury to her left knee (ACL) kept Štuhec out of the entire season, including the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.[10] She returned to the winner's circle with World Cup victories on consecutive days at Val Gardena in December 2018,[10] and successfully defended her world championship title in downhill in February 2019.[11][12] Two weeks later, a crash at Crans-Montana injured the same knee (PCL); it was reported that she would recover without surgery.[13]
