Alexis Guimond

Alexis Guimond joined the Canadian Para-Alpine Ski Team in 2016 and competes in the standing category. In 2017, in only his second season on the World Cup, he won the giant slalom at Kranjska Gora, SLO, ending Canada’s 10-year winless streak in the men’s standing category.

Fresh off his win, he captured a bronze medal at the 2017 World Championships. While his first couple of seasons were spectacular, 2018 was exceptional. The 26-year-old from Gatineau, QC, won a bronze medal in giant slalom at the 2018 Paralympics, ending a two-decade Canadian drought, all en route to being named the “Best Paralympic Debut by a Male Athlete” award at the 2018 Canadian Paralympic Sport Awards.

Alexis has continued pushing for excellence. After a two-year competition break brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, he sought redemption at Beijing 2022, where he collected a bronze Paralympic medal in the super-G.

Since the Beijing Paralympics, he has only found more success, hitting a new level in 2022-23 when he won bronze in the standing downhill and the World Championships in Lleida, Spain, and reached the World Cup podium six times, topped with a gold medal performance in a giant slalom in Cortina d’Ampezzo, ITA.

Heading into the 2026 Paralympic year, he had six career World Cup wins to his name, highlighting his 37 podium appearances. At the same time, he has three World Championship podium appearances, topped by a 2025 silver medal in the giant slalom in Maribor, SLO.
