High-profile signing for the HEAD World Cup Rebels: two-time world champion and 34-time World Cup winner Henrik Kristoffersen has joined the HEAD team.
The 31-year-old Norwegian has won the slalom season title four times and earned a bronze medal in slalom at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games. His fifth victory in the 2026 night slalom on the Planai in Schladming set a new record.
“Henrik Kristoffersen is one of the most outstanding athletes of the last 10 years. He has won numerous races in both slalom and giant slalom,” says HEAD Racing Director Rainer Salzgeber. “I am very proud that he has chosen to join HEAD. An athlete of his standing strengthens an already strong team.
“Atle Lie McGrath is part of our team as the current World Cup slalom champion. We understand what Henrik expects and the trust he is placing in our equipment. He brings tremendous skill and motivation, and we are committed to giving him the support he needs to reach his goals.”
“I’ve always had a bit of a rebellious mindset,” Kristoffersen says. “I’m proud to join the HEAD Rebels team — a team with a strong history of success. I feel welcomed from day one and ready to get to work. Being part of the World Cup Rebels suits me perfectly.”
