Wendy Holdener (born 12 May 1993) is a Swiss World Cup alpine ski racer who specialises in slalom and combined.[1] She is a two-time World champion in combined and a five-time Olympic medalist,[2] four individual with one gold medal in the team event at Pyeongchang in 2018.[3] Four years later in 2022, she won a silver medal in the combined.[4][5]

Holdener at Stockholm's Hammarbybacken in 2018

Holdener made her World Cup debut in Sölden in October 2010, and attained her first podium in March 2013, a second place in slalom at Ofterschwang. In 2016, she gained her first two World Cup victories and won the crystal globe title in the combined discipline.[6]

Holdener's first win in a World Cup slalom came in November 2022 at Killington, shared with Anna Swenn-Larsson, after thirty previous podiums in the discipline without a victory. Another win came two weeks later at Sestriere, Italy.

Holdener finished the season in seventh place overall in the 2023 season[7] and second in Slalom.[8]

In the 2025 World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, she won silver medals in team event and combined. That was the inaugural race of the team combined, where Holdener skied the slalom part, and Lara Gut-Behrami the downhill part. This was Holdener's 4th medal in the combined in the last 5 championships, and 6th out of 7 if Olympics are counted.
