1/5 Wow.. just wow! What an incredible day yesterday. I have really sought after this gold medal, and it feels so good to finally achieve it.
Now a world champion in both of the technical disciplines, one of my ultimate goals!
1/2: Marcel, congratulations on an amazing career! The king, the greatest! I was hoping that we would have one more go around on snow, but your decision is totally understandable after spending time with you!
@MarcelHirscher
This slalom season is insane🔥🔥 Incredibly happy to share the podium with these two guys! Such a strong follow up by
@pinheiiirooo
and finally a victory for the rocket
@daveryding
! Congratulations to both 🎩

2/2: It’s truly been an honor to compete against you, to be your rival and become some kind of friends! Enjoy your retirement together with your son, your wife and your family! Hopefully we will see each other again soon!
@MarcelHirscher
I was hoping to crown a great GS season with a win today, but Mr Impossible Marco Odermatt showed who’s the best skier in the world at the moment once again! Truly an incredible season and well deserved, congratulations 🎩👏🏻
Gave it everything today, but the fastest man prevailed in the end! Huge congratulations Lucas Pinheiro Braathen on a great season and the slalom globe. Thank you for the fight, can’t wait to do it all over again 👊🏻 Congratulations to Ramon Zenhäusern on your win!
Today marks 10 years since winning my first World Cup race and becoming the youngest male skier ever to do it. And what a place to do it in Schladming 🐢💨 Been in the game for a while now, but winning still gives me the same, great feeling.

1/2 YESSS🔥🔥 What an amazing day for us Norwegians🇳🇴!! Super happy and stoked to grab my first slalom medal🥉, and especially sharing the podium with the new Norwegian World Champion
@SSolevaag
🥇! The best skier definitely won today, chapeau🎩
Today’s situation during the second round will divide a lot of opinions, but I am one to take action if I feel injustice. There is no doubt that the climate is a huge issue, and I don’t want to oppress that. However, disruption of a cultural event will never be the time or place
80 feels quite nice, or what
@akselsvindal
? Today marks my 80th podium in the World Cup, the same amount as one of my heroes
@akselsvindal
🔥 Very proud to equal that record!
A 3rd place gives me a lot of confidence going into the next race!
Back on the podium 🐢💨 A lot of hard work from the entire team these past months, and finally we are starting to see some results. But the grind doesn’t stop and we are aiming even higher in the next races, let’s go! Congratulations to Manuel and Atle Lie McGrath
Definitely not the GS season I was hoping for, but more solid skiing in the last few races, just missing that final speed to find my rhythm again. We got a whole summer to work on that! Huge congratulationsand happy birthday to

My face when I’m once again within 10-20 ish hundredths of a second from the podium 😵💫😵💫 However, done a lot of good training this past week and figured out a lot regarding the setup. Very excited about the part of the season that is coming up 🐢💨

1/2 Finally, this one felt really good!🎉 Amazing to grab the first place here in
@chamworldcup
on some really difficult conditions, just in time for the world championships!
2/5 And what a way to do it! What I have learned throughout my career so far is that I never show up in the start gate without the intention to direct every nerve in my body towards winning, and the belief that I will. And once again that pure determination payed off 👊
Yes, back to back victories once again🥇🔥 Four really solid runs here in Kranjska Gora 🐢💨 Still one more race weekend to go, so let’s finish strong! Happy to share the podium with Stefan Brennsteiner and Marco Odermatt today, congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻

3/5 Huge congratulations to Alex Vinatzer with your bronze medal 🥉 Like many others I’m a little bit extra happy to see AJ Ginnis standing beside me on the podium. What a story. All of your injuries and comebacks, it’s great to see everything falling into place. Congratulations
1/2 Very solid skiing over here in the US with a 4th and a 5th place, but leaving without a toptop finish! However, Norway got another skier entering the winners circle in Slalom, congratulations Alexander Steen Olsen 🔥🔥 Also great to see Timon Haugan back on the podium!
For most of the athletes, this is their everything. At least four racers got their race ruined today, and that is injustice in my eyes.
Thank you for all the support I have received.

Today I feel like being fooled ... we (athletes) taken for pawns of a show and not actor of a sport! Since when in sport luck is more important than performance? And how dangerous is the format? But above all
@fisalpine
when will the words of the athletes be taken into account?
1/2 Wow, what a race🔥 So close to grabbing the first win of the season, but I’m really happy with the skiing today, and a 2nd place is very good after all! Ready for another battle tomorrow🐢💨
