Ingemar Stenmark was a Swedish Slalom and Giant Slalom skier, competing for Fjällvinden Tärnaby. He is regarded as one of the most prominent Swedish sportsmen all-time. Born in Joesjö, Storumans municipality, in Lappland , was the "national icon" of sports, and Swedish everyday life came to complete standstills whenever "Ingemar" was heading down the slopes. This was not changed by the fact that he - for tax reasons - soon moved to Monaco. On December 26, 2004 he survived the Indian Ocean earthquake while on vacation in Thailand. Stenmark displayed overall athletic prowess in winning the 1976 Swedish Superstars championship.
A very famous alpine skier from Sweden.
A daughter, Nathalie, with Ann Uvhagen.
