Career

edit

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

In January 2016, Kline attained his first podium, a second-place finish in downhill at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, finishing behind Aleksander Aamodt Kilde. About a month later, he achieved a second place podium finish in Hinterstoder in the super G, again finishing behind Kilde.

He gained his first World Cup victory in Norway at Kvitfjell in a downhill in February 2017.
