Introduction

Boštjan Kline (born 9 March 1991) is a Slovenian World Cup alpine ski racer, and specializes in the speed events of downhill and super-G. He has competed in four World Championships, and the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Career

Kline made his World Cup debut in December 2009 in the Super Combined at Val d'Isere, France. He competed for Slovenia at the 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships. He failed to finish the super-G, finished 33rd in the Downhill and was disqualified during the slalom run of the super combined.
