Gold for Mathieu Faivre at World Championship Début GEPA pictures Feb 17, 2021 17:14 CET Gold for Mathieu Faivre at World Championship début In 2017 Mathieu Faivre won Gold in the Team event at the World Championships in St. Moritz. In Cortina the French athlete celebrated his first individual Gold medal in the Parallel Slalom on Tuesday, the début appearance of this format at a World Championship. His compatriot Alexis Pinturault won his second medal in Cortina by following up Bronze in the Super-G with Silver in the Combined event on Monday. In the Team event on Wednesday, Norway bagged Gold with HEAD World Cup Rebel Fabian Wilkens Solheim. "I'm delighted for Mathieu Faivre. He delivered a superb skiing performance. Mathieu raced with a new model of skis in the Parallel event. And I hope that he decides in favour of this model on Friday," emphasised HEAD Racing Director Rainer Salzgeber. "We are also looking forward to Friday with Alexis Pinturault as well. He skied an excellent Super-G in the Combined event. In the Slalom he was a bit cautious for the first four or five gates. But four- hundredths of a second is a very close call." "I'm a World Champion now - that sounds great!" On his way to Gold, Mathieu Faivre beat Croatian athlete Filip Zubcic on the final run of the Parallel event. In the semi-final, the 29-year-old won against his HEAD team-mate Alexander Schmid from Germany, who finished fourth. "It was a long and very tiring day. I've been on the slope since 5:50 am. I'm happy with my skiing and now I'm World Champion in the Parallel event - that sounds great!", said a happy Mathieu Faivre. Fifth individual World Cup medal for Alexis Pinturault Alexis Pinturault missed the Gold medal in the Combined event by just four- hundredths of a second. Overall, it was the fifth individual medal at a World Championship for the 29-year-old. "It was very close today. I finished second only four-hundredths of a second behind, I can build on that for the Giant Slalom. When you give it everything you've got, it's always nice to be on the podium. Maybe I held back a bit on the first section of the Slalom," said Alexis Pinturault, analysing his performance. Just missing out on the medals were James Crawford from Canada, who stood out with the fastest Super-G time to finish in fourth place, and Simon Jocher from Germany in fifth place. Gold for Fabian Wilkens Solheim in the Team event On Wednesday the Team competition was on the agenda in Cortina. Gold went to the Norwegian team with HEAD World Cup Rebel Fabian Wilkens Solheim. "That was truly awesome. To win as a team is really something special. Because of the re-run, I was very nervous, it was intense. I am happy about the way I skied," confirmed Fabian Wilkens Solheim. Silver went to Sweden, with HEAD athletes Sara Hector, Estelle Alphand and Mattias Rönngren. HEAD athletes Alexander Schmid and Emma Aicher, who is just 17, won the Bronze medal for Germany.

The Avet slope in the sector of Soldeu de Grandvalira, which hosted the Men’s Giant Slalom and the Women’s Slalom in the 2019 Alpine Ski ​ World Cup Finals in Andorra, brought out the new skiable platform for the first time, ​ allowing the finish line to be extended and providing more space for the public. Around ​ 5,000 people, mostly from Andorra, the Pyrenees and France but also even further afield, ​ ​ ​ came to enjoy the descents of the best skiers in the world, transforming the Avet slope into the epicentre of the Pyrenees for Alpine skiing.

  • Alexis Pinturault Takes Victory for the First Time on the Gran Risa
    PRESS RELEASE ALTA BADIA ALEXIS PINTURAULT TAKES VICTORY FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE GRAN RISA The 29-year-old Frenchman adds the Alta Badia race to his records: he has won 15 giant slalom races in his career, as many as Alberto Tomba, who applauded him at the edge of the slope. Alta Badia (South Tyrolean Dolomites/Italy) - Alexis Pinturault adds his name to the list of winners on the Gran Risa, a slope that is legendary. Here champions the likes of Ingemar Stenmark (who won the first edition in 1985), Alberto Tomba and Marcel Hirscher wrote the history of alpine skiing. Thirty-five years of great emotions on the snow, although it was weird today not to feel and hear the warm welcome of the fans at the finish line, and not to be overwhelmed by the celebrations that every year animate the Ski World Cup event, from dawn until after sunset. And yet, thanks to the protagonists, it was a spectacular day on the Gran Risa, with the breath-taking runs of the strongest skiers on Earth. We also need to praise the incredible work of the volunteers who started working very early in the morning to prepare a perfect slope. Nobody managed to do better than the 29-year-old Frenchman (2‘27“19), who was leading already at the end of the first run. In the second run, Pinturault was able to defend himself against the attack of a young and bold athlete like Atle Lie McGrath (who was second and who is only 20 years old), edging him out by only 7 hundredths and winning for the second time in this season (the first one in a giant slalom).

  • Giant Slalom Fest by Alexis Pinturault, Lara Gut-Behrami Wins in St. Anton
    Jan 10, 2021 17:06 CET Giant Slalom fest by Alexis Pinturault, Lara Gut-Behrami wins in St. Anton The Giant Slalom doesn't get much better than this. Alexis Pinturault won both races on Friday and Saturday in impressive style on the Chuenisbärgli run in Adelboden. He clocked the fastest time three times and the second- fastest once. In St Anton, Lara Gut-Behrami bagged her first Super-G win since January 2018, and Corinne Suter finished third. "I risked everything and skied very well. On Saturday, the light made it difficult on the second run. But my performance was very good on both days," said the French athlete at the finish. "We've worked hard with HEAD, and that's paying off now." This is the 33rd World Cup victory for the HEAD World Cup Rebel, his 17th in the Giant Slalom. With 440 points, the 29-year-old has now also taken the lead in the Giant Slalom World Cup. Finishing 17th in Sunday's Slalom, Alexis Pinturault also leads the overall World Cup ranking table with 689 points. "The first few races this season weren't bad, but they weren't ideal either. We've been working on tuning. In Alta Badia Alexis was using new skis. We have also made changes to the plate and binding system," explains HEAD Racing Director Rainer Salzgeber. In the Giant Slalom on Friday Alexis Pinturault nailed the competition with the two fastest times. Justin Murisier from Switzerland finished in fifth place, Tommy Ford from the USA was tenth and Fabian Wilkens Solheim from Norway 13th.
