Ted Ligety is a three-time Olympian, two-time Gold Medalist, and 25-time World Cup champion. Now, the American skiing sensation is gearing up for another run at the podium in the upcoming Winter Games.

A dominant force in the men’s alpine circuit, Ligety burst onto the scene in 2006 at the age of 21 and has been racking up wins on the big stage ever since. He enters the 2017-18 season looking to add to his already impressive resume of five World Championships and 25 World Cup wins.

Here’s another win for the American skier. Ligety is the latest addition to Team Rockin’

The two-time Olympic gold medalist will focus on the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang, intending to come back strong as a medal contender. Ligety will be a strong contender for gold in PyeongChang. The Yongpyong Alpine Centre is a special venue for Ligety, as it is the home of his very first Audi FIS Ski World Cup giant slalom victory in 2006.

“Right now, it’s a couple weeks before we start the Olympics,” said Ligety. “We are wrapping up. We are here in Italy right now training for a couple days we have one more world cup race in Garmisch this weekend then we head over to the games to start training runs over there. Things are looking good. We have a good team and hopefully we can throw down and win some medals.”

“Racing is a super demanding sport,” said Ligety. “Every single time I get off the hill I have a protein shake, I have my Rockin’ Protein shake and it’s great to get something in your body that is high of protein, tastes great and made of real milk. It is what I need to get off the hill and recovery well. It is important to get that recovery drink in after a couple minutes after working out and in the afternoon as well. It’s great to have this partnership with Rockin Protein and actually have a high quality protein partner.”

Ligety’s advice to young athletes; “Go after your dreams, but be prepared to put in the work. Use each day to learn and grow so you can conquer the hurdles standing in your way of success.”
