Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Other people Шаблон:Infobox skier August "Gus" Schumacher (born July 25, 2000) is an American cross-country skier.[1] In 2020, Schumacher became the first American to win a gold medal in an individual race at the Junior World Ski Championships.[2] He competed in the 30 kilometre skiathlon at the 2022 Winter Olympics.[3] Schumacher won the Men's 10 km freestyle race at the 2024 Stifel Loppet Cup in Minneapolis on February 18, 2024.[4] His win marked the first time an American male skier had won an individual distance event since Bill Koch in 1983.[5]
Early life
Schumacher was born in Madison, Wisconsin and grew up in Anchorage, Alaska.[6] He learned to ski as soon as he could walk, using strap-on skis in his backyard.[7] By the time he reached middle school, Schumacher had begun to show an interest in competitive racing.[8] After moving through the ranks with the Anchorage Junior Nordic League, he joined the Alaska Winter Stars program.[9] He graduated from Service High School in 2018 and is currently enrolled as a part-time student at the University of Alaska Anchorage in pursuit of a Civil Engineering degree.[10][8]
Athletic career
High school and juniors
As a high school student, Schumacher trained with the Alaska Winter Stars. He swept both individual races at the Alaska state high school championships to claim the title of Skimeister, awarded to the skier with the best combined times, in both 2017 and 2018.[11][12]
From 2015 to 2019, Schumacher competed at the Cross Country Junior National Championships with the Alaskan divisional team.
World Cup
As a 23-year old, Schumacker won the men's 10 kilometer final at the 2024 Stifel Loppet Cup in Minneapolis. He became the youngest American to win a World Cup cross-country skiing race, the first American man to win any World Cup race since Simi Hamilton in 2013, and the first American man to win a distance race since Bill Koch in 1983.[13][14][5]
While on break from the World Cup ski tour, Schumacher competed in the American Birkebeiner in Wisconsin, and won the men's 50km freestyle race on February 24, 2024.[15]
