Aksel Lund Svindal (born 26 December 1982) is a Norwegian former World Cup alpine ski racer.

On 27 November 2007, during the first training run for the Birds of Prey downhill race in Beaver Creek, Colorado, Svindal crashed badly after landing a jump.

Completing his comeback during the 2009 season, Svindal won his second overall World Cup over Benjamin Raich of Austria.

Entering the last race of the season, a slalom at the World Cup finals in Åre, Sweden, Svindal led Raich by just two points.

He managed seven world cup victories before he sustained a season-ending knee injury under tough conditions in Kitzbühel, Austria.

11 titles: (2 overall, 2 Downhill, 5 Super-G, 1 Giant slalom, 1 Combined) 36 wins – (14 DH, 17 SG, 4 GS, 1 SC) Media related to Aksel Lund Svindal at Wikimedia Commons
