Kílian Jornet Burgada (born October 27, 1987 in Sabadell, Catalonia (Spain) is a Spanish ski mountaineer, long-distance runner, mountain biker and duathlete (mountain running and mountain biking). He is a three-time champion of the Skyrunner World Series from 2007–09 and the winner of the 2011 Western States Endurance Run.

Biography

Jornet was born in Sabadell in Catalonia. He started ski mountaineering in 1999 and competed for the first time at the La Molina race of the Spanish Cup in 2000. In 2003 he became a junior member of the Spanish national ski mountaineering team, and has raced as a senior since 2007. He is a member of the international Atomic team and lives in France.

On the 21st of August, 2013, Jornet ran up and down the Matterhorn in a record time of 2 hours and 52 minutes, beating the 1995 record of Bruno Brunod by 20 minutes. He started climbing up the 14,962 ft peak during mid-afternoon local time, reaching the summit in 1 hour 56 minutes via the Lion Ridge from the Italian side.[2]

Previously, for his achievements in the "junior" class ski mountaineering team, he won the Catalan sports award ([Premi d’honor d’esport català] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) in 2004, 2005 and 2006.[citation needed]

Jornet has been recognised as an elite athlete since 2004[3] by the Catalan and Spanish sports councils ([Consell Català de l’Esport] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) and [Consejo Superior de Deportes] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)).[4]

In 2005 he set a new course record of 2:30:57 for the race to the 4,015-metre (13,173 ft) summit of the Dôme de Neige des Écrins.[5] He was World Champion in the Buff SkyRunner World Series in 2007,[3] 2008 and 2009[6] becoming the youngest athlete to win this honour.[3] On September 7, 2013, Jornet and a companion were rescued by the PGHM (Peloton de Gendarmerie de haute montagne) at 3,800 meters of altitude (éperon Frendo) while attempting to climb the north face of the Aiguille du Midi wearing sneakers and body stocking. Jornet studied at the University of Perpignan Via Domitia.[7] His sister Naila Jornet Burgada also competes in ski mountaineering events.[8]
