In the history of the world, just five male skiers have won what is known as the triple crown — finishing first in three different disciplines at either the World Championships or Olympic Games. Two are being honored in Utah.
SALT LAKE CITY — In the history of the world, just five male skiers have won what is known as the triple crown — finishing first in three different disciplines at either the World Championships or Olympic Games.Park City native son Ted Ligety and Park City adopted son Stein Eriksen will increase the Hall's numbers to 256 athletes, joining a 2023 class that also includes basketball coach Dave Rose, fencer Julie Thompson Seal and sportswriter Tom Wharton.
In thinking it through, Stein decided to go against conventional wisdom and use the shoulder nearest the pole to lead into the turn. This reverse-shoulder style allowed him to turn closer to the gates.

For seven years, from 2008 through 2014, Ligety was the world's preeminent giant slalom skier. During that time, he won gold in 24 World Cup races, was the world's giant slalom overall champion five times, and capped it off with Olympic gold at Sochi in 2014, following his dominating performance at the 2013 World Championships in Austria when he finished first in the giant slalom, super-G and combined and became just the fifth man to win the triple crown .
