About
Jesse Kertesz-Knight enters his first year with the Canadian national ski team with a World Cup debut already under his belt, having kicked out of the start gate in Kranjska Gora, SLO in 2025.
The older brother of fellow national team skier Jake Kertesz-Knight, the 22-year-old has quickly risen through the Canadian skiing ranks and will look to become a regular on the World Cup stage this season.
Since making his Nor-Am Cup debut in 2021, the former Jasper Alpine Racers skier has amassed 65 starts spread across slalom, giant slalom and super-G, highlighted by two slalom wins in 2024-25 in Panorama, BC and Norquay, AB.
In 2024, he also competed for Canada at the FIS World Junior Alpine Ski Championships in Le Gets, FRA, helping secure a fourth-place finish in the team event.
