Hall of Famer
Lloyd Langlois
Lloyd Langlois enjoyed a 13-year career on Canada’s national freestyle ski team, competing in aerials from 1984 until his retirement in 1997. Over that span, he built an exceptional World Cup record, reaching the podium 47 times in gold- and silver-medal performances.
Langlois earned two Olympic bronze medals in aerials, first at the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary and again at the 1994 Games in Lillehammer, Norway. He was also a two-time world champion, winning gold in aerials at Tignes, France, in 1986 and at Oberjoch, Germany, in 1989.
He recorded standout World Cup aerials rankings, finishing first in 1984–85 and 1992–93, second in 1985–86, 1986–87 and 1993–94, and 10th in 1996–97 despite missing the final four events due to training setbacks.
In recognition of his accomplishments, Langlois was inducted into the Canadian Amateur Sports Hall of Fame.
