Ted Ligety's shirtless photos and videos have become one of the most searched items on the internet after the 29-year-old wins another gold medal in the giant slalom category at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games.

Ted Ligety's shirtless pics may be hard to find but that's only because this skiing star likes to cover up most of the time due to the frigid conditions he trains in.

Fans have however caught on camera Ted Ligety's shirtless video, along with his U.S. Olympic teammates.

Ligety was nothing more than a 21-year-old newbie to the Olympics when he amazed everyone by stealing the gold medal from the highly popular Bode Miller and Austrian star Benny Raich in the 2006 Winter Olympics. Since then, Ligety's been dubbed as the new face of the U.S. skiing team.

Ligety, who hails from Salt Lake City, Utah, was born in August 31, 1984 and is currently 29 years old. Aside from his Olympic wins, Ligety has 5 World Cup victories which are all in giant slalom, combined with 15 podiums, and 48 top ten finishes.

In the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, Ligety failed to get a medal however his complete domination came a little later on.

With Miller sidelined all season last year after knee surgery, Ligety shredded the World Cup circuit.

Ligety established himself as the golden boy of the giant slalom after winning six out of eight races by almost ridiculous margins. He claimed a GS race in Soelden, Austria, by 2.75 seconds, which is like lapping the field in a 1-mile run.

At the world championships in Schladming, Austria, Ligety became the first skier since Jean-Claude Killy in 1968 to win three gold medals.

Ted Ligety, who entered the 2014 Sochi Winter Games as a favorite, lived up to his golden hype after scoring another gold medal in his speciality category.
