As WorldSkiNews.Com reports, Norwegian alpine skier Aksel Lund Svindal has been elected as the skier of the year by A.I.J.S. (International Association of Ski Journalists). Aksel Svindal was elected by a great majority of reporters. Earlier winners include Benjamin Raich, Bode Miller and Herman Maier. It was a bit surprising that Svindal was elected. Anyhow, I feel it is a good selection. They elected the right man.
