Austria shows strength as a team

These are days when months of work come to a head – on snow, on ice, and as a team.
That is exactly what can be felt in the competitions.

🥈 Silver in the men's team combined
In the alpine skiing team combined, Vincent Kriechmayr and Manuel Feller won the silver medal.
Two different disciplines, one shared result: downhill and slalom combined for a strong overall performance. In the end, it meant second place – tied with Switzerland – and a medal that underscores the value of coordination and trust within the team.

Snowboard Big Air: No medals this time
In the evening, the focus shifted to the women’s snowboard Big Air event.
Despite high expectations and bold decisions, Austria came away without a medal this time. The competitions showed once again how fine the line is in elite sports – and that the Olympics also mean taking risks, even if they are not rewarded.

Anna Gasser performed with her customary consistency and willingness to take risks. Even though it wasn't enough for a medal this time, she showed why she is one of the most consistent athletes on this stage.

Hanna Karrer provided a special highlight. As the youngest competitor in the field, she made her Olympic debut – a first appearance that builds experience and opens up new perspectives.

🥇 Golden moment in the women's team combined event
Another highlight followed in the women's team combined event. Ariane Rädler and Katharina Huber delivered a focused, masterful performance and secured Olympic gold for Austria.

Two athletes, two disciplines – united by precision, trust, and absolute clarity in the decisive moment. A victory that perfectly reflects the team spirit of this discipline. We love this new format!

The Olympics show character

Silver, no medal, and gold – these days have shown how diverse the Olympics are. Success and disappointment are close together; what matters is how one deals with both.

Not every moment shines. But every moment counts. These two days have shown how much courage it takes to stand on this stage – we are proud of our athletes.
