Eight More New HEAD World Cup Rebels
Aug 28, 2020 13:35 CEST Eight more new HEAD World Cup Rebels Following Vincent Kriechmayr's lead, another eight athletes join the HEAD World Cup Rebels: Justin Murisier, Timon Haugan, Fabian Wilkens Solheim, Estelle Alphand, Laura Gauché, Marie-Michèle Gagnon, Samu Torsti and Michaela Heider. At the same time Anna Veith (AUT), Tina Weirather (LIE), Andre Myhrer (SWE), Matts Olsson (SWE) and Stian Saugestad (NOR) cross the finish line in their careers. "These nine newcomers give us a very strong edge for the coming season. Overall, we are now looking at a rejuvenated team. The plan is for the well- established athletes to repeat their outstanding performance while the newbies in the team move up a gear. For the athletes who have ended their careers this season, I would like to express gratitude on behalf of everybody at HEAD for all they have done to promote the success of our team and our company," says HEAD Racing Director Rainer Salzgeber. "We wanted to bring in Justin Murisier two years ago. He's a really cool athlete and the way he skis fits in well with us," explains Salzgeber. "The two new athletes from Norway - Timon Haugan and Fabian Wilkens Solheim - make an excellent team in the technical disciplines together with Jonathan Nordbotten and Atle Lie Mcgrath in Norway. Estelle Alphand is an athlete to watch out for - she skis very fast, but has not been able to translate this into results yet. Hopefully, she will take it to the next level with us. Marie-Michèle Gagnon is a well-known athlete and currently one of the big names in Canada.
