^ <small>Results from the [[Alpine skiing at the 1968 Winter Olympics|1968 Winter Olympics]] (and [[FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1970|1970 World Championships]]) were included in the [[FIS Alpine Ski World Cup|World Cup]] standings.</small>

Killy was the first [[FIS Alpine Ski World Cup|World Cup]] champion in [[1967 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1967]], winning 12 of 17 races to easily take the overall title. He also won the season standings in each of the three "classic" alpine disciplines; he won all five of the downhill races and four of the five giant slalom races.

The following year, Killy won the [[triple crown of alpine skiing]] with a sweep of all three Olympic gold medals ([[Downhill skiing|downhill]], [[giant slalom]], and [[Slalom skiing|slalom]]) [[Olympic Games scandals and controversies#1968 Winter Olympics|in controversial circumstances]] at the [[Alpine skiing at the 1968 Winter Olympics|1968 Winter Olympics]] in [[Grenoble]], France. By finishing first in all races, he also captured the FIS [[Alpine World Ski Championships|world championship]] title in the [[Alpine skiing combined|combined]] event.

Electrical timing by Omega was accurate to one-hundredth of a second. Killy relied on his upper-body strength to hit the bar while already moving forward, giving himself a slight edge. This spectacular start appears to have helped him to beat his teammate Guy Perillat by a few hundredths in the Olympic downhill.

With the Olympic events included (for the only time) in the World Cup standings, Killy easily defended his title in [[1968 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1968]] as the overall champion, placing first in the giant slalom and second in the downhill and slalom season standings. He retired following the 1968 season, and moved to [[Geneva]], Switzerland, in 1969.
