**Stig Strand** (born 25 August 1956) is a [Swedish](/source/Sweden) former [alpine skier](/source/Alpine_skiing) and a [sports commentator](/source/Sports_commentator) on alpine skiing.[1][2][3] He is known for being sports commentator for [SVT](/source/Sveriges_Television) during many years after his career, and a few years on [Eurosport](/source/Eurosport),[4] but ended TV commenting in 2016.[5] He has also worked as a political advisor for the [Swedish Social Democratic Party](/source/Swedish_Social_Democratic_Party), and as a hotel owner.

Although successful, he was during his active years always in the shadow of his childhood neighbour [Ingemar Stenmark](/source/Ingemar_Stenmark).[1] However, in the 1982–83 season, Strand also had 110 points like Stenmark in the slalom [World Cup](/source/Alpine_Skiing_World_Cup).
