Patrick Küng is a Swiss former World Cup alpine ski racer. He specialised in the speed events of Downhill and Super G and made his World Cup debut at Wengen in 2009.
Küng represented Switzerland at the World Championships in 2013 in Schladming, Austria. After placing 18th in the Super G, he produced his best run of the 2013 season in the downhill, finishing in 7th position.
Küng's first World Cup win came in Super G in December 2013, at Beaver Creek, USA. His second came a month later at the downhill in Wengen, Switzerland. Through January 2015, he has two World Cup wins and five podiums.
Küng won the gold medal in downhill at the 2015 World Championships at Beaver Creek.
At the Kitzbühel World Cup meeting in January 2019, Küng announced his immediate retirement from competition, citing a lack of willingness to take the necessary risks following a crash in Wengen which left him concussed.
