Giuliano Razzoli (born December 18, 1984[1]) is an Italian alpine ski racer, the gold medalist in the Slalom at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Razzoli was born at Castelnovo ne' Monti, province of Reggio Emilia. In the 2005-06 season he took the first place in slalom at the Italian Championships held in Santa Caterina, Valfurva, which resulted in his automatic promotion to the Italian National A team[1].
Razzoli has three World Cup podiums, all in slalom. His sole World Cup victory came at Zagreb, Croatia, on January 6, 2010.[2]
2010 Winter Olympics
Razzoli became Olympic Champion at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, winning the men's slalom. He clocked a combined total of one minute 39.32 seconds over the two runs, 0.16 seconds ahead of Croatia's Ivica Kostelic with Andre Myhrer of Sweden a further 0.28 seconds adrift[3].
Twenty-five year old Razzoli, who was quickest in the first leg through fog and sleet at Whistler, became the first Italian man to win the Olympic Slalom title since Alberto Tomba twenty-two years earlier at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary.
