Thomas Alsgaard (born 10 January 1972) is a Norwegian former professional cross-country skier. Alsgaard is regarded by many as the best performer of the freestyle technique (skating) in cross-country skiing and many of today's best skiers have studied his technique. In total, Alsgaard won 15 medals in the Winter Olympics and FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, making him one of the most successful skiers of all time.

Early life

Born in Flateby, Enebakk, Alsgaard began cross-country ski racing at the age of three. That was when he was entered into a race against many 5-year-olds. He beat all of them. A year later, it was rumored that he was lost in the village the family lived in. In fact, he was found at the local ski area, just about to start his third time around a 9-kilometer loop. Alsgaard says that his passion for skiing comes from liking to be outdoors.

Athletic career

Alsgaard got his international breakthrough in the Lillehammer 1994 Winter Olympics winning the 30 kilometre freestyle event. In total, Alsgaard won 15 medals in the Winter Olympics and FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, making him one of the most successful skiers of all time. Excluding his World Championships debut in 1993, Alsgaard won at least one gold medal at every Olympic Games and World Championships that he participated from 1994 to 2003. Alsgaard retired from racing after the 2003 World Championships.

He won the Holmenkollen medal in 2001 (shared with Adam Małysz and Bente Skari).

After his career as a professional skier

Alsgaard retired from racing in 2003. Between 2013 and 2017 he was the owner and manager of a ski team, Team LeasePlan.{{cite web| url = http://www.dagbladet.no/sport/denne-jenta-er-helt-spesiell-for-alsgaard-avslorer-motet-som-endret-alt---jeg-var-skeptisk/65297350| title = Thomas Alsgaard og Lina Korsgren - Denne jenta er helt spesiell for Alsgaard. Avslører møtet som endret alt: - Jeg var skeptisk| date = 8 December 2016}}

He now works as a technical advisor for Alpina Sports, working in the Nordic boot department.

He is also known as a sports commentator{{cite news|url=http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/sport/article2807544.ece|title=Ekspert-veldet|last=Kirkebøen|first=Stein Erik|date=5 January 2009|work=Aftenposten|language=no|access-date=16 January 2009}} for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation.

In the Norwegian Championship in January 2011, Alsgaard took a sensational bronze medal at the 15 km classical individual race, defeating many skiers on the Norwegian World Cup team. He was only beaten by Eldar Rønning (gold) and Martin Johnsrud Sundby (silver). He repeated the feat in 2012, expressing frustration with the lack of aggressiveness and initiative in both the younger elite athletes and the team surrounding them.{{cite news|url=http://www.dagbladet.no/2012/01/26/sport/ski/langrenn/nm_pa_voss/thomas_alsgaard/19957328/|title=- Hvorfor var det ikke noen løpere eller trenere som spurte meg?|last=Kvamme|first=Sigve|date=26 January 2012|work=Dagbladet|language=no|access-date=26 January 2012}}

Ski Classics team owner

As of December 2016 the team consists of four "allround" skiers and six skiers with langløp (or long races) as their specialty; Swede Lina Korsgren is the team's only female (as of 2016); Hans Kristian Stadheim assists in coaching.{{cite web| url = http://www.dagbladet.no/sport/denne-jenta-er-helt-spesiell-for-alsgaard-avslorer-motet-som-endret-alt---jeg-var-skeptisk/65297350| title = Thomas Alsgaard og Lina Korsgren - Denne jenta er helt spesiell for Alsgaard. Avslører møtet som endret alt: - Jeg var skeptisk| date = 8 December 2016}} On 21 April 2017, Alsgaard announced that Team LeasePlan had to shut down due to sponsorship problems.{{cite web |url=https://www.langrenn.com/thomas-alsgaard-legger-ned-team-leaseplan.5983427-1743.html |title=Thomas Alsgaard legger ned Team LeasePlan |language=no |publisher=langrenn.com|date= 21 April 2017 |access-date=31 January 2018}}
