Bryce Bennett (born July 14, 1992) is an American World Cup alpine ski racer who specializes in the downhill event.[1]
He joined the U.S. Ski Team in 2011 after a spring tryout camp and, though he missed out on the 2014 Olympic team, he saw his breakout season come in 2015. In December of that year, Bennett went from the 57th starting position to cross the finish line in sixth at a World Cup downhill in Val Gardena, Italy, for his first top ten. He has competed in three World Championships and the 2018 Winter Olympics.
