Austria Shows Strength as a Team

There are days when months of work culminate – on snow, ice, and as a team.
That's exactly what you can feel 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 to create a strong overall performance. In the end, this meant second place – ex aequo with Switzerland – and a medal that underlines the value of coordination and trust within the team.

Snowboard Big Air: No Medals This Time
In the evening, the Women's Snowboard Big Air took center stage.
Despite high expectations and bold decisions, Austria did not win a medal this time. The competitions once again showed how fine the line is in elite sports – and that the Olympics also means taking risks, even if they are not rewarded.

Anna Gasser presented herself with her usual stability 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 created a special highlight. As the youngest starter 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
Another highlight followed in the Women's Team Combined. Ariane Rädler and Katharina Huber delivered a focused, confident performance and secured Olympic gold for Austria.

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

Olympia shows character

Silver, no precious metal, and gold – these days have shown how diverse the Olympics are. Success and disappointment are closely intertwined, and how one deals with both is crucial.

Not every moment sparkles. 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.
