When Broderick Thompson began to walk, he started to ski, and since then, he has become one of Canada’s finest Alpine racers. From Whistler, B.C., the 1994-born athlete enters the 2024-25 season with 78 World Cup starts and two Olympic appearances under his belt. He worked hard to return to snow after a 2018-19 preseason crash when he suffered a knee injury at Nakiska Ski Resort. 

After incredible commitment to rehabilitation, Thompson returned to racing on the international scene in 2021, proving he had done the hard work, claiming his first World Cup podium in December 2021, placing third in the super-G at Beaver Creek, USA. 

He’s carried that momentum onwards, placing ninth in the Kitzbuehel downhill in 2022-23, the third-best result of his World Cup career. 

Thompson debuted on the Olympic stage at PyeongChang 2018, yet his best result came in the Beijing 2022 alpine combined, as he finished eighth behind Canadian teammate Jack Crawford, who took bronze. 

His sister, Marielle, is an Olympic champion (2014) and multi-World Cup champion on the Canadian Ski Cross Team.
